Registration for the event has already surpassed all expectations and it is on course to become the largest show of its type in Ireland.
The event - which promises to be an incredible gathering of vehicles
some of which haven't been seen by members of the public in decades - has been organised to help the fund set up to support 17-year-old Emma Naughton-Heavey from Galway who is battling a rare virulent cancer called Fibrolamellar and has to travel to the USA every 12 weeks to meet with doctors there.
Thomas Heavey, Chairman of the Trust, and Emma's father, has been around the Classic scene for many years due to his work and says he has been humbled by the support that his peers are showing the cause. Emma was diagnosed with this rare cancer in January 2013.
The show will comprise of a display of vintage cars, tractors, steam engines, stationary engines and old time machinery and tools. To date, enthusiasts and clubs from across the entire country have confirmed they will attend this once-off special event. One of the highlights will be the display of steam engines which will be one of the largest ever such displays here with over 40 already booked in for the show. Emma's campaign has reached across the water as well with steam engines making their way from Scotland and from England.
The event will be open from 10am to 6pm each day.
