130,000 expected for plough event
The 2004 event will be hosted by Kevin and Kevin Paul Nolan with their neighbours Larry and George Byrne at Grangeford, Tullow, on an outstanding site on the main Carlow/Tullow Road.
At a reception last Thursday in the Mount Wolseley Hotel, Liam Aylward, MEP launched a promotional brochure detailing the various aspects of the event. Based on past experience, it can be expected that up to 130,000 people will visit the event. They will witness 310 ploughmen and women participating in 17 national and two international competitions.
