In the spirit of the season, our local farmers and equestrians used their creative talents to showcase their tractors, horses, goats, dogs and more. Over 35 local farmers from Howard and Carroll counties, and beyond drove their festively decorated tractors and farm equipment, and antique farm trucks in the parade. More than 160 horses, under saddle and pulling carriages and wagons, proudly made there way up the parade route! 
​In addition, Days End Farm Horse Rescue held their annual Santa's Village with "Reindeer Rides" which drew more than 40 vendors for patrons to do their holiday shopping and find some delicious treats.

The Numbers Are In!
The numbers are in! Thanks to you - our community sponsors and tractor and equine participants - the  parade raised over $24,500! Our beneficiaries were presented checks at the Annual Legislative Howard County Legislative Dinner held on April 21.  ​

  • $7,400.90 to the Carroll County Food Sunday
