Rose Hall Town to observe 49th anniversary in grandeur

The town of Rose Hall will observe its 49th anniversary with a one-month celebration which was launched on Friday.
Town Day 2019 is a collaborative effort of the Rose Hall Town Council and several businesses and will run from August 25 to September 28.
At the launch, one of the organisers, Dauren Deonarine explained that a total of 18 events will be executed during the one-month celebration, which was opened with a clean-up campaign and on July 31, there will be a candlelight vigil.
On September 1, a fitness walk has been planned along with a 5-a-side football competition while an art competition for students is organised for September 5.
“As the Mayor did mention, we are catering for everyone at Rose Hall Town Day anniversary 2019; even for the little children, so on September 5, we are proposing an art competition for students within the surrounding communities,” Deonarine explained.
Among the feature events will be a health fair on September 25, but before that, an auto vehicle show is scheduled for the Area H Ground.
On September 20, which is the Town’s anniversary, an award ceremony, street fair, and exhibition-career fair have been organised. The curtains will come down with an international concert on September 20.
Initially, the Rose Hall Town Anniversary Organisation had submitted a proposal for similar activities and the Council had asked for a meeting with the two sides, but according to the Town’s Mayor, Chattergoon Ramnauth, the Anniversary Organisation refused to sit with the other promoters.
“Both of them were invited and only one turned up; the other one never turned up and never sought to get in contact with us,” Mayor Ramnauth explained.
Proceeds from the event according to Deonarine will be used to repair streets in the Town and erect signs.
