A parade of more than 60 tractors rolled through Union Hill Saturday morning as part of the annual Henderson Tractor Ride, which is part of Henderson’s Sauerkraut Days celebration. The caravan of red, blue, and green tractors began at the Le Sueur County Pioneer Power Showgrounds, traveled through St. Thomas, enjoyed a pitstop at Union Hill, and wound through Belle Plaine and Jessenland before proudly rolling into Henderson.
