Millstreet Vintage Club and CART Carriganim­a hosted a hugely successful tractor run that attracted more than 60 tractors from across Duhallow and Muskerry.

The proceeds from the initiative supported the Carriganim­a

Rural Transport Bus Service, and perfect weather conditions added to the enjoyment of the day, which saw a bevy of tractors take to the tarmac across picturesqu­e terrain to Drishane Castle and a return to Carriganim­a.

And at a formal presentati­on in Carriganim­a, a cheque for €1177.50 was presented by the Vintage Club to CART.
