* Getting their tractor ready for the big run on December 4 are 13-year-old Harvey and six-year-old Olivia Burke, grandchildren of agricultural contractor Alan Hughes of Garth.
The area's new Rotary club says it still has space for modern or vintage vehicles festooned with fairy lights to join the first Llangollen Illuminated Tractor Run on Sunday December 4.
The recently launched Vale of Llangollen Rotary and Llangollen and District Young Farmers Association have organised the run.
Tractors will muster at 3.30pm at Llangollen Pavilion and, after judging, will be waved off at 5pm by town mayor Councillor Paul Keddie and Rotary district governor Paul Dutton.
The route goes up Castle Street on to the A5 and then through Froncysylte, Chirk, St Martins, Overton, Ruabon, Trevor and back to Llangollen.
Short stop-overs are planned in Chirk and Rhyn Park School car park in St Martins for local people to walk around the tractors and for children to get their photo taken with our Santa.
Spectators are asked to bring along some cash for a charity bucket collection.
A Rotary club spokesperson said: "Please, local farmers, get behind this new attraction and charity fund-raiser for the community.
"You can visit our website at www.valeofllangollenrotary.com and click the page for the tractor run to see the rules, how to register and how to pay for the entry."
Vale of Llangollen Rotary is ready to welcome individuals and couples of 18+ from the local community who want to be “people of action”.
The club normally meets face-to-face, at Liberty Tavern, 20 Market Street, Llangollen
on Monday evenings at 7.15 for 7.30pm.
