The mid-August weekend will see two tractor parades roll out in Vankleek Hill and Winchester to carry on local country fair traditions in a modest way this year. A third tractor parade may also take place in Saint- Albert during that same weekend as a rain date alternative to organizers’ original plan for a roll-out on August 9. Parade organizers in each community presented their COVID-19 protection plans for each event to the Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) for review, recommendations, and approval.
