Neighbors hold tractor parade for two boys for their birthday!

You've seen the video's on TV of people having drive-by birthday greetings, and recognition of other important dates. Well, it just happened north of Oklee on Saturday. 

It was kept a secret from the boys as their parents planned this parade for them. Facebook and texts were sent to the neighbors and they gathered at Salem Lutheran Church, They were instructed that is was a tractor parade in honor of two boys who couldn't celebrate normally with the Stay at Home order due coronavirus pandemic.

And the neighbors were on it right away as many tractors and other farm equipment lined up for quite a way down the road, ready to participate.

The local sheriff's department had an officer lead the parade as they first went by Rylan Lundeen's driveway where his family was waiting  and as it passed them, music and much cheering could be heard as they wished Rylan a Happy Birthday and then the parade traveled down to the corner, turned south and headed for the next birthday boys home, Atley Vettleson, where they again music was played and wishes were sent  to commemorate his birthday.

There were many others that heard about the Tractor parade and they were lined up along the roads to also view this important event of these two young men's special day.
