In the latter half of the day there was a special stage show for the children. The show featured cultural dances, an acrobatic display and performances from local artistes that included “Kwasi Ace” and “Alabama”.
This part of the expo was especially popular with the children and they were an energetic crowd as they jumped, ran, and “palanced” to the music, at one point Commander Hicken joined Kwasi Ace onstage and entertained the youths who screamed in delight.
