The organisers of the Farmer Christmas Tractor Run have presented a cheque for £6614.23 to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance after raising a total of £8,871.23 from the event.
The beautifully decorated tractors and farm vehicles decked in festive lights took a circular route through Langtoft, Kilham, Rudston, Burton, Fleming, Wold Newton and back to Foxholes.
Event organiser Nicola Knaggs from the Kilham Playing Fields Association said; “This is huge achievement for a small collection of rural villages.
It is a credit to the drivers who invested time and money putting on such
a brilliant light display and people were very kind and generous with donations.
“It takes a team of around 70 volunteers on the day from collectors and tea makers to the marshals at junction points to make the event happen – to them and our very generous sponsors we are truly grateful.” added Nicola.
A cheque £1957 was also donated to the Kilham Playing Fields Association and £300 to the North Wolds Lions from the Santa’s Grotto.
Over 125 tractors, beautifully decorated in festive lights, travelled through several local villages from the Foxholes base of main event sponsor Wilfred Scruton Ltd.
