Ballyragget Vintage on the move

It’s that time again and for the fifth consecutive year, Ballyragget Vintage Road Run takes to the highways and byways of north-east Kilkenny clocking up the miles in aid of local charities. To date, the event has raised over €70,000 and every euro collected goes directly to the chosen beneficiaries. Benefiting this year are the Carlow –Kilkenny Home Care Team, O’Gorman Home, Ballyragget, Kilkenny Alzheimers Society, the Susie Long Hospice Foundation and the Ballyragget Day Care Centre.

Tractors will assemble on the Square, Ballyragget on Sunday November 2 at 11 am.

On completion of the route there will be a “Harvest Hoedown” at Thorpes, Finnan, incorporating a Threshing & Vintage Demonstration; Harvest Supper; Traditional Music; and culminating with the crowning of the harvest queen.

The organisers would like to thank everyone for their generous support and all will be very welcome to the “Hoedown”. The organising committee consists of Bob Hopkins, Alice Farrell, Adrian Thorpe, Pa Maher, Andrew Thorpe, Freddie Farrell, Dick Brennan, Pat Lacey, Mary Kenny and Maurice Shortall.
