2010 Tractor Nuts – 8th/9th May

LADS AND LASSIES, one of the most popular annual fundraising events in the South East is on the horizon once again. Hundreds of beautifully restored vintage tractors will start out on the Borris and District Tractor Nuts 6th Annual Road Run raising vital funds for both the Irish Cancer Society and the Irish Kidney Association. 

Expect a large crowd out for a fun day and many tractor enthusiasts with a variety of pre 1990 tractors of differing ages – Massey’s, Ford’s, Nuffield’s, John Deere’s, many of which are restored back to their original condition and are a credit to their owners.

The tractor run has drawn quite a following over the last 5 years and last year an incredible crowd of over 400 partook and enjoyed the welcome sunshine. This is a great opportunity for visitors and participants alike to enjoy a unique spectacle with two miles of tractors expected.

Due to popular demand and for the second year running, the women are again taking to the tractor driving seat to kick off this years’ festival with their own dedicated Ladies Tractor Run on Saturday 8^th May. This will be followed by a night of entertainment and craic with an “Oil Up” in O’Shea’s of Borris.

The next day, Sunday 9^th May sees the Lads and Lassies Tractor Run roll out of Borris around midday for a 26 mile road run. Afterwards at 4pm, all with gather in The Step House, Borris for a barbeque, music and lots of entertainment. So, mark your diary, get your sponsorship card organised and join all the other Tractor Nuts and Nutettes for what promises to be one of the best years ever.

All are encouraged to take to the road with their tractors and that includes the Ladies, who had a very successful dedicated Ladies Tractor Run for the first time ever in 2009.
