The trio started the tractor run last year after a number of other festive events were cancelled due to Covid restrictions.
And they will drive three different routes later this month to bring smiles to the town.
"It was such a pleasure last year, " said Mr Vardigans, who works as a carpenter.

“An elderly couple heard us and, when we came up the road, the man was clapping us with such vigour.
