Fisherstown's Christmas Tractor Run took place on Sunday, 15 December. The event proved extremely popular, with many families turning out to watch the festive parade of tractors, trucks and vintage cars.

Over 50 vehicles took part, with one catching everyone's attention on the day being lit up with more than 7,000 light bulbs!

Paddy Flynn, one of the chief organisers, said that the event was solely for fun and to "give something back to the local community."

Paddy said: "It all went very well and was most enjoyable and we just wanted to thank the community and the people who so generously supported our main run during the summer. Our Christmas event is not a fundraiser at all, but a thank you for the families and the children."

The parade went from Ballybrittas to Junction 14 and then back to the Final Furlong in the village where Santa was on hand for the festivities and with gifts for all the local boys and girls.
