(By Mondale Smith)

Calling all tourists, domestic and international, mark your calendars as plans have commenced to make Bartica Regatta 2010 even bigger. Regional Chairman Holbert Knights has informed that the events will be staged for the period March 13 to April 5 this year.
Aside from the boat races, the major attraction and entertainment package comes through the annual Regatta pageants. This year, nine beauties from the mining community have been selected and have commenced training to see who will be crowned Miss Regatta 2010.
They will be sashed at an official ceremony on March 20. Added entertainment will include a dance fiesta; featuring the Classique Dance troupe and the Famous Pose dancers. That event will also be used to honour outstanding Barticians as well as champion racers, footballers and athletes.
On that occasion, too, there will be the awarding of Grades Six and CXC scholarships from 2009 and the showcasing of video highlights from the 2009 pageant and races.
On April 1, Regatta gets a real jump start with the welcome party that offers a gate prize of US$500 that includes a dance clash between dancers from the USA, Bartica and Georgetown at the Gardens in Second Avenue.
On Saturday April 3, the Modern and Platinum Square will come alive for the annual Regatta Street Jam where patrons will party all night to popular stereo sounds.
The Easter Sunday REGATTA is set for April 4 at the Golden Beach, Third Avenue and will feature Canoe racing, at least three Canoe skills competitions and Power Boat racing. The committee is promising that prizes will be handed out immediately after each race.
The pageant is set for April 4 at the Admin and Modern Square and will feature nine delegates including Patrice Wilson, Lydia Timmerman, Rebecca Sattaur, Nickesha Fraser, Tiffeny Wong, Latoya Allen, Nikita Henry, Jessica Mc Kenzie and Anice Hicks. As part of the pageants offerings the delegates will present on their chosen platforms live on TTS channel 5 one week prior to the pageant.
On pageant night, international singing duo X2 featuring Adrian and Jumo will entertain patrons. The delegates will be featured in swimwear as well as a talent segment.
On Easter Monday the beach party and family fun day are carded to be staged at the Golden Beach, Third Avenue and will feature Canoe racing, Canoe skills competitions and Power Boat racing.
When the sun sets from 17:00hrs the atmosphere will be transformed into a concert setting that will be dubbed the official Regatta Wash Down. There, X2 as well as a yet to be named international artiste will take to the stage constructed over the Golden Beach. The 2009 queen is Savannah-Ree Wyatt.
