2016 Rose of Tralee Maggie McEldowney from Chicago (pictured at the K Club recently) will be a special guest at the Curragh races this Sunday August 28 when she attends her first official public engagement since winning the coveted title.

In addition to having a race named in her honour, Maggie will also help judge the Search of the Curragh “Rose” competition.

She will be joined by some of the other Rose of Tralee participants to judge the search for the “Rose of the Curragh” competition with the most stylish, elegant and appropriate dressed ladies who attend the races competing for spectacular prizes courtesy of Tipperary Crystal.  Ladies who incorporate the Rose motif into their outfits will have a definite advantage.

The  prize bonanza  for the "Rose of the Curragh" will include a series of the Tipperary Crystal Fine jewellery ranges and a range of high quality products from the Tipperary Crystal Giftware and Homeware Collections.
