Yazoo Mills' corporate headquarters are based in New Oxford, PA, and the company, which specializes in paper tubes and cores for the label and package printing industry, is giving back to the local community. The company gathered to support one of the area's local traditions – the Harvest Day Festival & Parade.
Every year, Yazoo Mills takes part in the New Oxford Harvest Day Parade, presented by the New Oxford Chamber of Commerce. The event celebrated its 15th edition in 2022, and Yazoo Mills served as a sponsor. Held on October 22, this event featured a large crowd that celebrated the local food and culture, and was treated to the parade.
Yazoo Mills, America’s largest family-owned manufacturer of paper tubes and cores for over 120 years – and a 40-plus year member of the New Oxford Chamber – sponsors the event to bring the local community together. Yazoo Mills has prided itself on company culture and has enjoyed sharing that philosophy with New Oxford. The community gathered for a day of fun to shop local and watch a fall parade celebration of decorative floats, musical marching, dance performances, costumes, and antique/collectible vehicles. Yazoo Mills also entered its 1959 White Mustang Tractor in the parade.
The Yazoo Mills’ 1959 White Mustang Tractor was used at the Frederick Street plant from 1973 until 1980. It was then retired from the road and used as a jockey tractor at the New Oxford facility. It was then restored from 1985 to 1988 and is occasionally driven for functions like company functions and parades.
