Y
YOUNG girls aged 6-10 from all over Ireland are being invited to enter the selection process to find 67 Rose Buds for this year’s Rose of Tralee International Festival which will take place from August 17-23.
There’s more to the Rose of Tralee than being a Rose or a Rose Escort because 67 young girls from all over Ireland will each be paired with an international Rose during the festival in Tralee.
This year’s Rose Buds, who will be sponsored by Crag Cave, Castleisland, and McDonald’s, Tralee, will take part in two parades during the Festival on August 20 and 21.
Everyone who enters the selection process must pay a €10 fee per application form, from which €2 will be donated to Barretstown Camp, Co Kildare.
Children will have over six weeks to send in their entries before the May 26 closing date. The names of 67 Rose Buds will be announced on www.RoseofTralee.ie on Friday, June 10, and only the 67 successful applicants will be contacted.
Entry forms are now available from www.roseoftralee.ie, Facebook, Crag Cave and the Rose of Tralee Festival Office, Denny Street, Tralee.
The entry fee is payable by cheque, postal order and cash and for more information, email Rosebuds@roseoftralee.ie.
Young girls are being invited to apply to be Rose Buds during this year's Rose of Tralee International Festival.
