THE FIFTH annual Tractor Run for Tony Horan took place in Bridgetown on Sunday.

Locals and residents from across East Clare attended the memorial tractor run which was held across the Bank Holiday weekend.

For a period of sixteen years from 2002 until his death in February 2018, Tony Horan ran ‘Tony’s Bar’ in Bridgetown. His daughter Rosemarie Stuart is now responsible for running the pub.

Tony was a carpenter by trade, in the late 1960s he turned his hand to butchering and opened his own business. This led to him buying land and farming as a sideline.

Emma and Fiadh Hickey.

A wide-variety of vehicles descended on Bridgetown for the run with motorbikes, tractors, vintage cars and tractors all passing through the village. A pet farm, magician, face painting and auction were among the other highlights for the run.

Embrace Farm, a charity which supports those who are injured, bereaved or experience loss on farms benefitted from all funds raised from the tractor run.
