LAUNCESTON Carnival Committee are seeking applications from the young ladies of the Launceston area, aged between four and ten years, for carnival princess, and eleven years plus for the title of carnival queen.

It is hoped that the carnival queen and carnival princess will both have one attendant.

The choosing ceremony will take place at Launceston Town Hall on saturday, July 23, starting at 6.30pm.

A small entry fee of £1 will be charged to non competitors and the evening will include a prize draw and refreshments.
