Berbice Expo shifted to August

Jun 16, 2012 News

 

 

Due to the heavy rains forecast for July, the Central Corentyne Chambers of Commerce (CCCC) has postponed the Eighth Annual Berbice Exposition and Trade Fair to August. The calendar event which was previously slated for July 20-23, has now been pushed back to August 10-13, next.
President of the CCCC, Lakeram Rambrich, said that the Hydromet Office has predicted some 22 rain days in July, hence the Chamber made the decision not to go ahead with the trade fair as planned in July, since it does not want the event to be hampered by rains.
Rambrich added that no other plan has changed. “We have had over 40 bookings already– All the food stands have been sold out and we have just limited bookings remaining.” The main businesses in the region have booked all of the spots, he said. This year’s expo, he added, will be much bigger and better than in previous years.
“I know it’s a calendar event in Berbice and people look forward to have Berbice Expo at the end of July, but we don’t want an expo that will be hampered by rain”.
“Showcasing Opportunities; Fulfilling Our Potential” is still the theme for the event which would be held at the Albion Sports Complex.
Exhibitors will be visiting from Suriname, the Rupununi, Trinidad, Barbados, India and Brazil. International artistes are also on the card to provide the nightly entertainment. There will also be nightly fireworks, adding to the excitement.
Rambrich also said that there will be a grand opening ceremony and President Donald Ramotar is expected to attend.
