Preparations under way for Waterford tractor run

Kilmeaden Tractor Run will take place in July

There is excitement building in one area of County Waterford ahead of a fundraising tractor run that's always a very popular local fundraising event.

The Kilmeaden Vintage Tractor Club hold their annual tractor run every July.

This year's event will take place on Sunday, July 13 and it's something that everyone in the community is really looking forward to.

The event is always a great day out for all the family with some fantastic vintage vehicles on display. 

The participants gather at Haughton's Pub and the run begins at 1pm. 

The route follows a scenic country route full of beautiful sights and sounds of nature. The run arrives back and parks up safely at Haughton's, where there will be lots of refreshments on offer. 

For more information about the run contact Pat on 087 2216589. 

The event has raised much needed funds for many charities over the years and this year all proceeds will go to Waterford Hospice.

The organisation provides public benefit to patients and their families known to the Southeast Palliative Care Service. 

Waterford Hospice provides invaluable support not only to patients but also to the families affected by a loved one’s illness.
