The DJ kept the music and dancing going all day by playing many entertaining games. The highlight of the day was the limbo dancing which surprised many adults and children on how low they could go.

Different cultures were well represented as African drummers were a sight to behold while Jamaican chefs kept everyone well-fed.

Vendon added that as long as the organising goes to plan, there will be a parade through town at next year’s event.
