NEW ROUTE FOR NED TARRANT RUN

Fingers are crossed of favourable weather in Kilcorney on Sunday, April 7 for a Tractor Run in support of the Irish Guide Dogs.

The hosting remembers Ned Tarrant, a local farmer whose untimely passing shocked the community in 2018.

Banteer Macra along with the Kilcorney Community will again get together to organise the tractor run to remember a popular figure and as a way of raising funds for a worthwhile cause in the Irish Guide Dogs.

“Tractor and vintage enthusiasts are coming out in support. And the public are invited to what promises to be a fantastic day”, said organising spokesman Patrick Buckley.

“A new picturesque run covering close on a 30km route will add interest.”

The Guide Dogs is a national charity dedicated to enabling people who are vision impaired and families of children.

As well as changing the lives of so many blind and visually impaired people, the Irish Guide Dogs also train dogs to support the families of children with autism.

“We are so proud to be able to support such a worthy charity as the Guide Dogs, hopefully there will be a big turnout to support the staging”, said Patrick.

Registration for the Tractor Run takes place from 12 noon in Kilcorney Social Centre, entry fee is €20 per tractor.

Tractors will depart at 1pm from Kilcorney encountering a picturesque circuit prior to returning to Healy’s Bar for a Barbeque and live entertainment.
