The Kildare Rose of Tralee has just announced that Denise Healy will represent Kildare in the Regional Rose of Tralee Festival in June.
Denise a local from The Curragh, was well and truly shocked when she was announced as the 2008 Kildare Rose.
Denise was one of 15 local girls that took too the stage and showed their worth to the county of Kildare. It was an entertaining night with Rebecca Flood, sponsored by the Killashee Villa Spa showing the MC KCLR's Brendan Hennessy a step or two of Irish Dancing, to some budding poets.
It was a jammed packed evening of family entertainment and each Rose was supported by family and friends alike.
Denies will now go forward to the Regional Rose of Tralee Festival in the Heritage Hotel, Port Laois, from the 12th to the 15th June. Here Denise will meet the other Irish Roses and six will be selected to go forward to the International Festival in Tralee in August.
