Macra news: Blue Jean Country Queens for Athboy

Athboy will be the place to be this June bank holiday weekend, as Queens from all over the country, and indeed overseas, battle it out for this year’s Blue Jean Country Queen title.

The festival, now in its 29th year and hosted by Meath Macra, will be officially opened at 8pm on Friday, June 2, in the Darnley Lodge Hotel by Jillian Ennis O’Boyle, the current Athboy Community Person of the Year.

The Queens, who will be staying with host families for the duration of the festival, will then take to the stage for their interviews with Master of Ceremonies, Joe Healy.
