Lighted tractor parade set for Nov. 21 in Manchester and Shortsville

A lighted tractor parade will travel through Manchester and Shortsville beginning at 5 p.m. Nov. 21, with spectators asked to watch from the west side of Route 21.

John Walton outlined the route and parking arrangements in a Facebook post. The parade will begin at the old school in Manchester, near the intersection of routes 96 and 21, and head south on Route 21 before turning left onto Main Street toward Shortsville.

Walton said Route 21 cannot be closed and northbound traffic will remain. He asked anyone distributing candy to throw it only toward the west side, where spectators are being directed to sit.

From Main Street, the procession will turn right onto Sheldon Street, right onto High Street and left onto Pioneer, continuing to Wheel Works, according to Walton’s directions.

Tractor parking will be in the first driveway behind Wheel Works, using the grass and parking lot. Large trucks can park on the road and along its side, Walton said. He also advised that Pioneer will have one lane of traffic.

The event flyer lists registration at 585-402-8149. Advance tractor registration includes a free food coupon while supplies last, and the best-decorated tractor will receive a YETI prize package.
