Who is going to be Mayo's Rose of Tralee?

MAYO Roses will gather at the McWilliam Park Hotel in Claremorris on Saturday night next for a night full of entertainment, glamour to decide who will represent Mayo at the Dome in Tralee 2018.

Roses will appear on stage to speak with MC Ollie Turner and get an opportunity to do a party piece of their choice if they so wish.

All applicants will be interviewed by a judging panel prior to Rose Selection night.

The applicants have been meeting for the past number of weeks and attended a lot of team building events .

There will be prizes for ‘Best dressed Lady’, Best Dressed Man and ‘Best Banner’, as well as a raffle. 

The girl who is chosen as the 2018 Mayo Rose will walk away with an array of prizes from a selection of jewellery from newly announced lead sponsor of the Rose of Tralee International Festival, Tipperary Crystal, and, of course, the coveted Mayo sash to go on to represent Mayo in the Dome in Tralee.

Steve Cronly of the International Rose of Tralee Festival will assist the girls through their rehearsals, individual judging, group judging followed by stage interviews and entertainment.

The Mayo Rose selection of 2018 promises to be all of the above and more.

“It will be a life changing experience for one lucky rose” commented Zoe Bane, Mayo Rose co-ordinator.

Tickets (€20) will be available on the evening. Doors open at 6.45 p.m. and the show starts at 7.30 p.m.
