KEN AGAR ROAD RUN 2022

A MASSIVE road run took place to mark the 20th anniversary of the passing of a beloved Bagenalstown man. The Ken Agar Memorial Run was held on Saturday 10 September 2022, with over 600 vehicles of all varieties taking part it was a great day and thanks to everyone. Ken was 36 when he died in a motorcycle accident on 30 August 1992. The idea of the memorial run was spearheaded by Ken’s nephew Stephen Agar, who said: “He was massively involved with the vintage scene and we decided to have a memorial road run to mark the 20 years.” Son of Hilda and Fred, Ken was one of six children who grew up in Ballymoon, Bagenalstown. He was qualified fitter and worked in Burnside and Tanco in Bagenalstown and Aero Motors in Dublin. His brother Alan established the Alan Agar Haulage Company and Ken was working with the firm at the time of his passing. A single man, Ken was living with his mother at the family home. It was a devasting time for his family and his many friends. His older brother Mervyn recalled: “He knew how to enjoy himself and he was well, well known all over the country for his involvement in vintage circles. It’s testament to him that we have people coming from all over the country to us.” Ken was heavily involved with the local steam rally in Fenagh and went to rallies with a group of local enthusiasts, who would go on to form the Carlow to Cork Tractor Club. Both Stephen and Ken are members of the tractor club and its members helped out on the day to ensure everything went smoothly. GRASSMEN People can still donate online at www.tractorrun.com
