N.C. Cooperative Extension-Clay County Center is gearing up for the 18th Annual Ag Day & Tractor parade to celebrate our local agriculture community. This year’s event will be held on Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Hayesville Square and will be a day packed with games, informative displays, 4-H Livestock exhibits and most importantly, a captivating array of tractors — both modern and cherished classics.
In addition to the fun, Clay County Tractor Club will be selling tickets for their antique tractor raffle. Funds raised from the event will go towards the Tractor Club’s community programs and scholarships for local seniors. You can purchase your tickets for this piece of agricultural history on the day of the event and the lucky winner will be announced following the parade.
The event will start at 10 a.m. with the parade kicking off at 12 p.m. If you wish to participate in the tractor parade, meet at the Hayesville High School parking lot with a $15 entry fee.
Come out and enjoy a day that promises fun, community bonding and an appreciation for our area’s deep agricultural roots.
