We want to see all of these on display in next year’s competition.
Say what you like about the Rose of Tralee, but an awful lot of people like it and even more people watch it every year and this year’s edition provided loads of entertainment for viewers over the last couple of days.
Part of the appeal of watching the festival is making your own fun while doing so and Meath footballer Ciaran Lenehan got the craic going last night with a few suggestions for alternative #ROT talents that the Roses could perform instead of singing songs or reciting all 32 counties in eight seconds.
Ciaran got the ball rolling by suggesting that a Rose should eat a snack box in ten minutes without wiping her face and before long, there were loads more, including our own personal favourite, “saying a decade of the Rosary while pulling a calf in a Debs dress”.
