Killarney

<h3>Killarney town centre came to a standstill last week when several members of Nobber Vintage drove their vintage tractors and classic cars along High St and Main St.</h3>
It was all part of the County Meath-based club&rsquo;s annual Ring of Kerry Vintage Tractor Run which was making a welcome return to the local classic calendar after last year&rsquo;s event got cancelled as a result of pandemic restrictions. Several classic vehicles, including 10 cars, nine tractors and a few classic motorcycles left County Meath earlier last week.
They arrived on the outskirts of Killarney at about 5pm Friday evening (August 20)&nbsp;where they were joined by over 20 local vehicles before proceeding through town.
On Saturday (August 21) the large group of drivers completed the Ring of Kerry before making their way back to Nobber or local garages.
Locally, the event is organised by members of the Killarney Valley Classic and Vintage Club including bothers Tom and Tony Wharton.
&ldquo;Tony drove a 1995 Massey Ferguson all the way from Nobber,&rdquo; Tom told the Killarney Advertiser. &ldquo;It was great to see it back. Last year we were all ready to go &ndash; we had the event launch and everything but we were stopped at the last minute.&rdquo;
This year&rsquo;s event raised money for Crumlin Children&rsquo;s Hospital and autism charities.
