Tractor Run draws the crowds at Gibson’s Hill
Carla Lockhart MP • August 1, 2023
Local MP Carla Lockhart has congratulated Corcreeney Rural Development Association for a highly successful Tractor Run, held on Saturday at Gibson’s Hill.
Speaking after attending the event, Carla Lockhart said:
“Tractor runs are a great way of celebrating our rural way of life, and the strong influence of agriculture in rural communities, whilst also bringing people together and raising much needed funds for good causes.
Corcreeney Rural Development Association have held a fantastic event here today, with a great number of tractors hitting the road, and plenty of craic as well for everyone in attendance.
I have no doubt that a good sum has been raised that will make a positive impact on the local community, and I wish the group well for their ongoing programme of events over the coming months.”
