My Week with Celia Holman Lee: Bring on the Ploughing!
THE PLOUGHING Championships are on the way, and I attended the launch of the 2023 farming festivities!
With around 200,000 people expected to turn out to the championships again this time around, it is bound to be an amazing agricultural affair.
With what is Europe's biggest outdoor event, the annual championships has something for everyone. The fashion shows put a stylish spin on things, and in true ‘me’ fashion, I intend to be in the centre of it all!
Last year's events were truly memorable and we are so looking forward to the upcoming festival, happening from Tuesday, September 19 to Thursday, September 21 in Ratheniska, Laois.
I caught up with main organisers at the launch including none other than the elegant lady, NPA Director Anna May McHugh.
When the Holman Lee Agency and I arrived for the launch last week, we were greeted with excitement buzzing in the air.
In preparation for the three-day festival, we took a look around the fashion dome where the fashion shows will be held each day.
The highest-quality garments from boutiques and department stores will be on display over the course of the three days, including menswear.
Our models will showcase their talent and seasonal style on the catwalk for, hopefully, huge crowds!
The launch gave us a small taste of the merriment that will be had at this year's upcoming championships. It was great to see the site, which will transform into a land of retail stalls, food and drinks vendors and, of course, some surprises too!
We have been attending the Ploughing Championships yearly for the past 20 years and we always have the best time doing so.
It was so wonderful to meet lots of interesting people at the launch and I am honoured to represent Limerick at this year's event.
