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 7th 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 6 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.

For the first time ever, this year will see the arrival of the Traffic Light Party. Wear Red if you’re taken, Orange if you fit into the “Try Me” category and Green if you’re Single. The party kicks off the weekend on Friday 29th April the Step House Hotel, Borris.

Due to popular demand and for the third 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 30th April. This will be followed by a night of entertainment and craic with an “Oil Up” in the Green Drake Inn, Borris.

The next day, Sunday 1st May sees the Lads and Lassies Tractor Run roll out of Borris around midday for a 26 mile road run. Afterwards from 4.30pm, all with gather in The Step House, Borris for a barbeque, pig roasting, thrashing, 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.

To date more than €125,000 has been raised for the Irish Cancer Society and the Irish Kidney Association. Let’s aim to collectively increase that figure in 2011 and have a very enjoyable day out too! 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.
