Community / Christmas tractor run to light up Lerwick in aid of RNLI
THE ANNUAL Shetland Young Farmers Christmas tractor run through Lerwick is taking place on Tuesday (12 December) night.
This year the event will raise money for the Lerwick and Aith lifeboat stations.
The festive run will kick off at the marts at 7pm before heading into town and ending up at the Anderson High School, where folk will be able to take photos with the tractors.
While there will be foot collectors along the way to collect donations, people can also pledge money online to the RNLI.
