Paso Robles California Pioneer Day Parade 2013

Here are a few pictures from the annual Pioneer Day Parade celebration. And yes all of these tractors drive right down the center of the main street the whole parade route.

I know many of you have seen pictures of some of the old iron over the years. For the newer members, there is a great collection of early track tractors right in Paso Robles, Ca. some privately owned and some by the Pioneer Day Committee. The famous Tom Madden is on the beautifully restored Best 75. I had the privilege of running the Don Hunter Holt 75 through the parade.

657bruce, Thanks for the photos. Some real nice machines. I did not know Mr. Hunter personally, never even met him, but from all that I have read about him, I can only think of the pride you must of felt running his #111 in the parade.
Thanks again, Garry
