Blue Jean Country Queens festival set for Athboy

Blue Jean Country Queens from across the country, and from overseas, will be under the spotlight in Athboy, Co Meath, this bank holiday weekend, as the 28th annual festival gets under way.

Organised by Meath Macra na Feirme, the festival will run until Monday and this year is sponsored by Athboy Credit Union.

And the men of Macra won’t be forgotten, as an Alpha Male Competition will also form part of the programme of events.
