McCray’s Light Stroll shines bright in memories

Stephen McCray of McCray’s Farm in South Hadley, MA, has been ahead of the curve when it comes to agritourism. This was the fourth year that the farm featured the Holiday Light Stroll. There are over 700,000 hand-strung lights illuminating farm machinery (including two International Farmall tractors), the haunted hay ride site, the farm’s mini golf course and its petting zoo for visitors to stroll through. It’s a family-friendly walk that takes 30 to 45 minutes.
