Wexford man to represent the county at the annual Mr Personality Festival
Enniscorthy Guardian
Eddie Casey will represent Wexford at the 18th Annual Mr. Personality Festival, organised by Kilkenny County Macra and taking place on Friday, April 25 and Saturday, April 26.
The 24 year old is an active member of Bree Macra and has listed getting the opportunity to visit the European Parliament as one of his most memorable moments.
Macra is a voluntary organisation representing a thriving community of 13,500 young people from rural Ireland.
His hobbies and interests include bagpipe playing, hiking, jiving, singing, and birdwatching and he believes he will make a good representative for Wexford because he is very passionate about Macra and meeting new people.
A jam-packed weekend will be ahead of him – as soon as the contestants arrive at the hotel, they will be whisked away for their first group activity of the weekend.
The on-stage interviews will kick off in the evening and will be conducted by MC, Aindriú dePaor from 2FM. This will be followed by music from the much-anticipated Abbeyfolk and DJ until late.
On Saturday morning the contestants are given a chance to have a private interview with the judges before they are set a number of challenges.
On Saturday evening, they will then be donning their suits and meeting with Kilkenny, Carlow and District Farm Relief Services to have their official photos taken.
This is followed by the banquet, where The Fogues will be playing hit after hit until Mr Personality 2025 is announced at midnight.
Kilkenny County Macra ensures that there will be no shortage of Macra activity during the weekend in Kilkenny, seeing the return of the Hurling and Camogie competition this year on the Saturday. In addition to that, they will also be hosting the National Volleyball Finals the following day.
Tickets for the weekend are currently on sale at 'early-bird' rates and can be purchased through Eventbrite.
