Grace Campbell is the 2012 Southland Rose. The Southland Times outlines a nice biog of Grace for us. It is two years since Grace left Kildare for the bright lights of Southland, and now they are sending her back to us! Grace appears to be well embedded in her new environment - read just how much she has integrated at the Southland Times.
