Ballitore Vintage Run

The annual Jimmy Byrne Ballitore Vintage Run weekend is being held on 11/12 July, writes Brian Byrne.

The Run is in aid of funds for St Brigid's Hospice on The Curragh, and the Alzheimer Unit in St Vincent's Hospital, Athy.

Barrel and Duck races will be the feature of the Saturday evenings, while the general musical entertainment is the Beat on the Street. The Sunday Vintage run for tractors, cars, and motorcycles begins registration at 12pm, and there will be family entertainments through the afternoon.

The festival concludes with an Auction, followed by a Pig on a Spit BBQ.
