LINDEN Town Week (LTW) 2019 was officially opened on Sunday afternoon with a grand cultural extravaganza in the mining town.
Linden Mayor Waneka Arindell in a short address, said that the cultural extravaganza and by extension LTW 2019, focuses on highlighting the talent of Lindeners, especially the youths, since there is so much yet to be discovered. “The aim is to bring out the talents we have in our own township; there are people who can sing, who can dance, who can write poetry, town week is for that time, for you to showcase that talent to the rest of the world,” she said. She encouraged Lindeners to fully participate in every event, especially those aiming to highlight local talent.
Today, activities will kick off with a women in business seminar and Christians can enjoy a gospel fest, featuring international gospel artistes.
Other highlights for the rest of the LTW 2019 are folklore, stories, poetry and art on Tuesday, Golden Taste Glow party and On-the-Spot Art on Wednesday; Big Man Gah Luck Party on Thursday; Rasville Breakfast on the Sand and Colour- themed party on Friday; Linden All Black Party; Caribbean Food Festival and Children’s Fest on Saturday and the Main Big Lime on Sunday.
