“I was absolutely blown away, it hasn’t even sunk in yet!” said Rosie, reflecting on her win.
Speaking after the festival, she praised the community of Athboy and the warm welcome she received over the weekend. Rosie also took time to praise her fellow contestants, saying that all 21 other Queens and how the judges “had a really, really, hard job – every single one of the girls were worthy of being the winning Queen”.
Rosie is looking forward to using her role to get more young people involved in Kerry Macra and taking the opportunity to travel around Ireland promoting Macra na Feirme and the Blue Jean Country Queen Festival.
Throughout the weekend, Rosie and her 21 fellow Queens took part in a hectic and fun-filled weekend which saw them do everything from taking part in a music session, a pub crawl and on-stage interviews, playing fancy dress football, attending street markets, a BBQ with main sponsors, Le Chéile Credit Union and singing Karaoke with the festival organisers and judges – not to mention two nights of live music.
