Story
On Sunday 17th September the Kelly and McKenna families from Augher/Clogher are holding a special classic and new Mini showcase and drive from Augher to Aughnacloy and back again to a fantastic BBQ and social event, in memory of their beloved daughter Connie who passed away from epilepsy in 2020.
Connie was a true inspiration to any young person that lived with epilepsy. She never let it hold her back. There were always challenges, but she would face them head on and always strive to do her best. The Mini Drive itself epitomises Connie. Someone different, someone inspirational and someone that was fun loving and light hearted. We hope this Mini Run will catch peoples attention just like she did!
The family are inviting all mini drivers from across Northern Ireland to come along and showcase their fabulous cars on the route that takes in the most scenic parts of Clogher Valley. Connie herself was a mini enthusiast and her iconic mini car will be there on the day for all to see at what promises to be a very colourful spectacle. There’s even the owner of a mini campervan planning to be in town!
This showcase and social event, the first of its kind in Augher will take place on Sunday 17th of September in Augher Main Street @ 2.30pm which will be followed up with a BBQ and music by Daire McCarney. Everyone Welcome!
The drive route will go via Aughnacloy and back to Augher via Ballygawley Roundabout.
