It's that time of year again and plans for the 2005 Blue Jean Country Queen Festival are well under way at this stage. The festival, now in its 18th year of competition, will run from tomorrow to Monday in Athboy, Co. Meath.

The hard working committee, all members of Meath Macra na Feirme, have worked very hard to date to ensure that the festival will be as successful as ever.
