Madera's agricultural lifestyle --- including its growing wine industry -- will be celebrated Dec. 3 at the annual Tractor Parade and Downtown Wine Stroll.

Any vehicle can participate in the parade as long as it has at least 100 working Christmas lights on it.

"They really get creative," said event coordinator Jerry Noblett. "We have farmers who have decorated tomato harvesters and have them in the parade. They were huge."

Noblett said the entries range from tractors and other farm vehicles to classic cars and even children's electric cars.
