A great evening was had at the launch of our vintage awareness day at the crossroads inn Lisryan on a glorious sunny evening. The event was very well-attended with many enthusiasts turning out with their vintage, classic cars, and Tractors. The launch night continued with a barbeque and photos from the local papers along with Ray Dolan streaming live on social media. A great night of entertainment was had by all. This year’s Vintage show promises to be bigger and better with all-day entertainment. New attractions this year include a Jiving competition hosted by legendary country music star Johnny Brady who will be taking centre stage along with an up-and-coming first lady of country music Brid Shaughnessy and many more.
