Middleburg，a small town in the state of Virginia，is known for its horses.For more than 50 years，Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行)．Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first，these hunters ride in the yearly parade，wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

　　John Hale，a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town.“We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit，but it incorporates a lot of the old traditions.” The nighttime hayride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay.The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

　　There are some newer traditions，too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming，peaceful place without tension.

　　“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back，to take a deep breath，and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace，there's really an opportunity where you're allowed to step off for a little bit.”

　　Parade organizers say more than 13,000 people attend even in below freezing weather.But if you ask, you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade：

　　“I come here because I'm from a small town.I like how everybody comes together.”
