Carlingford seeks its Oyster Pearl!
The famous Carlingford Oyster Festival has thrown the net out for the 2013 Morgan’s Fine Fish Carlingford Oyster Pearl. The famous festival which promises five fun filled days from Thursday 8th to Monday 12th August is looking forward to a packed programme of fun, delicious gastronomy and oyster pearl antics.
The well known ‘lovely girl’ competition that crowned over 22 pearls in its day and made many a mammy cry with pride, is polishing up the crown ready for the 2013 pearl. In celebration of the Gathering year, it is also seeking out ‘ancestors’ of previous oyster pearls participants to step up and represent their family Pearl origins of years ago. Participants should prepare for tasks like cruising on the lough with lunch on board, a tractor ride at Carlingford Oyster Farm, strutting their stuff on the catwalk, water activities (courtesy of the Carlingford Adventure Centre), dining out in Carlingford’s award winning restaurants and whooping it up at the finale night at The Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford.
Bling with matching wellies remains a compulsory accessory for the festival Wellie Hunt and hair dressing skills may or may not be handy at the Pearl Sheep Shearing display. Standard criteria applies but most essential is a sense of fun…! So girls if you fancy a week long of fun out in Carlingford, entries are now being accepted and closing date is 8th July.
The competition is likely to be one to remember, so don’t miss it- enter now!!!
