A Saturday bucket collection on the streets of Castleisland from 10am to 4pm will precede this Sunday’s 11th Paudie Fitzmaurice Memorial Tractor Run.
The event, which has raised close to €100,000 for local charities since it was founded in 2012, has adopted the motto ‘if it has wheels bring it along.’
It’s also open to attract vintage cars and motor bikes and non vintage vehicles will be welcome too.
Details of the run and its associated events and timings were officially launched on Saturday afternoon in Cordal.
Day Care to Benefit
It was also announced that the event is being held to benefit Castleisland Day Care Centre. The centre lost its annual fundraising cycle earlier this year due to unaffordable insurance costs.
The cavalcade of vehicles will leave Cordal GAA Club grounds at 1:30pm on this Sunday, October 2nd and travel through: Castleisland; Currow; Breahig and finish back where it started in Cordal. The entry fee is €20 per set of wheels.
Post Run Entertainment in Hughes’ Bar
There will be refreshments before and after the event and there will be live music entertainment in Hughes’ Bar afterwards.
There will be commemorative tokens for all participants which have been sponsored by Hughes’ Bar.
