The Wrap

Trunk-or-treat, meet tractor-treat. The Waco Antique Farm Machinery Club hosted its first “tract-or-treat” Saturday at Tonkawa Falls in Crawford. The club usually holds a fall tractor showcase, but this year members moved it to Halloween, and vintage machinery was on display for the kids trick-or-treating. Now that's a sweet ride.
