2016 Clare Rose of Tralee Leah Kenny

2016 Clare Rose of Tralee Leah Kenny officially launched the search to find this year’s Banner County representative for the Rose of Tralee International Festival in August this year.

The fashion blogging primary school teacher remembers fondly the last year as the reigning Clare Rose, especially the little nudge of encouragement she was given which resulted in one of the best years of her life.

“The Rose of Tralee has definitely been one of the best experiences of my life so far. It has been an incredible journey and created lifelong memories and friendships! Although it is bittersweet that my year is coming to an end, I would absolutely recommend applying for the Clare Rose selection this April to anyone who is thinking about it”

Leah said: “I know it’s daunting to put yourself out there in public the but it was something I had always thought about doing, and it took a little supporting nudge from a friend and the support of my family to finally get me to fill out the form! Looking back now, I am so glad that I took that leap of faith because I have learned so much over the last 12 months and made friends for life. I appeal to everybody across the county to offer that bit of encouragement to a friend, a sister, a daughter or a work colleague that may need help to take the hardest step of the process and apply today.”
