Tractor Parade

Santa Cruz County Sheriff R. Wildey rides a 1947 Earthmaster.

This part of the would be much better documented with a video. The sound of the mariachi wagon, the chug-chug-chug of the old tractors, the screeching of young children's unbridled enthusiasm, the ear-to-ear smiles of people all ages giddy with the procession and fanfare, the smell of BBQ—oh man!

I can still taste it.
