The event is organised by Meath Macra na Feirme and the Athboy community, and sponsored by Le Chéile Credit Union.
A student veterinary nurse and member of Sixmilebridge/Kilmurry Macra, Rebecca’s hobbies include camogie, soccer, dancing, and farming. She also holds American citizenship despite never having lived in the United States.
Rebecca and her 20 fellow contestants will begin their journey on Friday, with team-building at Causey Farm, followed by meeting their host families. The festival officially launches that evening with a pub crawl through Athboy.
The weekends schedule is packed with Judges interviews, BBQs, karaoke and love music. The Queens will attend a formal Gala Banquet at Athboy Convent Community Centre on Sunday evening. After the banquet, they return to The Darnley Lodge Hotel in jeans for the crowning of the 2025 Blue Jean Country Queen, followed by dancing to Simon Casey and Conor Woods.
The winner receives a tiara, golden sash, and perpetual cup from 2024 Queen Alannah Finnegan (Cavan), plus €1,000 from Le Chéile Credit Union. Second place earns €500 (Turmec Recycling) and third €300 (Farrelly Tree Service Ltd.).
