Seabreeze Princess Competition
Ellen Doyle has been crowned the 2017 Seabreeze Princess. The selection took place at the Midway Bar & Lounge on main street . This event has been sponsored by Bridgewater Centre.
Ellen is 21 years and works in childcare in Dun Laoghaire. She is also a member of the Arklow Rugby club and enjoys car racing.
She beat off hard competition to take the prize fund over €1,000 including shopping centre vouchers, jewellery and beauty products.
Judges Paul Pritchard, Mary Woods and Elaine Cullen had a difficult job to select the winner.
They selected Ellen after a successful interview live on stage with MC Molloy.
Ellen will now have the honour of attending various festival events as the Seabreeze Princess wearing custom made tiara designed by local jeweller John Swan.
