Tamara gets the shock of her life.
ON SATURDAY night at the Donegal Rose Selection Tamara Payne was selected as the Donegal Rose. Tamara was sponsored by Naomi’s Hair Salon Ardara.
Noel Cunningham interviewed each of the Roses on stage in the Radisson Blu Hotel Letterkenny before judges took a recess to decide who would be going forward to represent Donegal in the Rose of Tralee.
All of the Roses were fantastic and the Rose of Tralee Committee would like to say special thanks to each of the sponsors.
