“Town Week’s vision… is to bring out the talents we have within our own township. Those of you who can sing, who can dance, who can write poetry…It’s for you to showcase that talent to the rest of the world…as we declare Town Week opened, I want you to remember as you go through, to look out for your people. There’s so much persons who would be doing things. There’s women in business that are going to be advertising what they’re doing in Linden”, Arrindell noted.
The event also featured a number of cultural performances.
Over thirty activities will be showcased in this year’s LTW activities, which have been planned by the Linden Mayor and Town Council (LM&TC). According to the LM&TC, the aim is to put the best of Linden on display.
