Clonenagh National School, Mountrath have announced the return of the Annual Tractor Run on Saturday, December 28.
The Tractor Run will take place along with the Family Fun Run/Walk and the Monster Auction in Coolrain Village.
This fundraising event has proven to be a great day out for all the family and promises the usual excitement with the tractors, the Fun Run/Walk, the all-day long free refreshments, music and the Monster Auction.
The day starts with a 6km Family Fun Run/Walk around the beautiful countryside near Coolrain village at the foot of the Slieve Bloom mountains.
This is a great way to work off the excesses of Christmas. All ages are welcome.
Registration for the Fun Run/Walk will take place at 11am in Hogan’s Pub, Coolrain (€10 for adults, €5 for secondary school students, free for primary school students), and the Run will start at 11.30am.
Next up will be the Annual Tractor Run which is a sight to behold as the tractors and vintage cars work their way through the village and along the route.
Registration takes place at 1.30pm and the tractors and cars will set off at 2.30pm.
The now-famous tractor run stew will be served to the drivers after the run in Hogan’s pub, Coolrain and all drivers will receive a memento to remember the day.
The event will finish with the Monster Auction in Hogan’s Pub at 8.30pm with many impressive lots being auctioned on the night.
Auctioneer, Joe Shirley, is often the highlight of the event and ensures that all those who come to support will enjoy the night.
The annual fundraiser is a very enjoyable day for all ages, with plenty of exercise, tractors and fun.
