Windmills and Roses

A working windmill and a competition for roses. You can find them both within miles of each other in the west of Ireland. Tralee is where women from around the world compete for the title of the Rose of Tralee every August. Hear where they come from and just how the competition began so many years ago.  And Blennerville, between Tralee and the Dingle Peninsula is where you'll find Ireland's only working windmill. It works to this day, but not more to bring in tourists than to turn out tons of flour. Hear all about the area in Episode 38 of Erin's Isle.
