THE Brehon Hotel was the venue for the glamour of the Miss Kerry 2017 contest last night and the venue was packed to see another north Kerry winner.
After Niamh Enright from Listowel was crowned last year, she handed over her title to a Ballyduff lady, Tamara Goggin.
She beat 20 other beautiful women from all over the county, watched by a packed audience of families and friends of the contestants at the Killarney hotel.
The judges – blogger and brand stylist Laura Mac Sweeny, former Kerry Rose Mary Hickey and blogger and stylist Aideen Feely – had a tough decision on the night and Tamara will now go on to take part in the Miss Ireland contest later this year.
The contest was organised by CK Event Management and the contestants enjoyed and afterparty in K-Town bar in Killarney later that night.
We were in The Brehon to take some photos of the contestants on the runway, just prior to the start of the event (we’ll have more photos later)...
