BARRE – The Barre Betterment Committee held its annual tractor parade on Saturday in Barre. The top photo shows some of the participants getting ready for the parade at the Van Lieshout farm on East Barre Road.
The parade started at the farm and headed north on Route 98 to the Barre Town Park.
More than dozen tractors and other farm and construction equipment were part of the procession on a 22-degree evening.
Tractors and farm equipment used the Van Lie Shout farm as a staging area before the Barre Tractor Parade on Dec. 13, 2025. The Barre water tower is in the background.
