Second for Sligo at the 2020 AIB Northwest Macra King and Queen
THE 13th Annual AIB Northwest Macra Kings and Queens event took place in a packed Sligo Park Hotel Saturday the 18th of January, the highlight of the Northwest Macra calendar!
18 Kings and Queens from throughout the Northwest came to Sligo to compete for the title of the “AIB Northwest Macra King and Queen”. The Kings and Queens took part in numerous challenges in the Garavogue Bar under the watchful eye of our 3 judges; James O’Hara our 2019 King, Chloe Kennedy Donegal Rose of Tralee and Paul Clabby 2018 Rose of Tralee Escort of the Year.
The winner was announced that night on front of a record breaking crowd by i Radios Dave Duke. Rhythm and Sticks who hail from Co. Longford then took to the stage and had everybody on the dance floor into the late hours where Dave Duke took over for the closing set.
Elaine Flanagan a business student at IT Sligo and Sean Walsh a Special Needs Assistant, both members of Benbulben Macra represented Sligo at the event. Both members done the County very proud. Sean was announced in the top 3 but was pipped at the post for top place and came 2nd. Well done to Roscommons DIllion Beirne and Monaghan’s Lisa Brennan who were crowned “AIB Northwest King and Queen”.
