You don’t need to win the Lotto to be treated like a Princess, but any young woman who enters the 2011 Mayo Rose selection will get the royal treatment and be in with a chance to become the Rose of Tralee.
A €25,000 world travel prize fund, the use of a brand new car for the year, a treasure trove of Newbridge Jewellery and a chance to become an Ambassador for Mayo and Ireland await the next Rose of Tralee.
The 2010 Mayo Rose, Michelle Moyles, said: “To have been chosen as the Mayo Rose was the most exciting thing imaginable and from the moment I was selected I threw myself 100 per cent into the role. Putting together the wardrobe was great fun and I got a lot of help from many local businesses. I was invited to many events, most of them fundraisers for very worthwhile projects.”
Local businesses, sports organisations and professional groupings are being invited to take part in what promises to be a memorable Mayo Rose selection event and application forms are now available from www.roseoftralee.ie, [email protected] and from the Rose of Tralee Head Office on 066-7121322.
