Tractors in full twinkle rule this whimsical wine country parade
DRAPING STRINGS OF LIGHTS... across all sorts of large objects and enormous yard features, from porches to pergolas, has become a whimsical way of life for those people who adore decorating for the holidays. Other sizable spots, including garage doors, swing sets, and oversized gates also get the glittery treatment each year. When it comes to vehicles, however, the decorating remains generally demure: You might spy a wreath hooked to the front of a car's grill or perhaps an elf doll placed near a car's rear window. But there's a town in Calistoga that likes to fabulously festoon all sorts of things on wheels, especially the huge machines that dutifully serve our communities on farms or by delivering food and a plethora of much-needed goods. It's the Lighted Tractor Parade, a colorful and quirky Calistoga tradition, and big trucks, hefty construction vehicles, lengthy flatbeds and other on-the-roll mega machines make merry appearances in the popular procession, one of the only events of its twinkly type.
