MOSES LAKE — Tractors, horses, cars, trucks, work trucks and people took to the streets of Moses Lake on Dec. 6 decked out in lights and costumes for the annual Ag Parade.  

The parade attracted so many entries it lasted almost an hour; the route had to be lengthened due to its popularity. People were drawn downtown not only by the parade — and for the children the chance of free candy — but also by the live music and dance, games, french fries and s’mores.  

The parade featured ag equipment, of course, elaborately decorated, but also community groups, local businesses, dance teams, cheerleaders, lots of Santas and a few Grinches. The parade is sponsored by the Downtown Moses Lake Association.
