However, the booth owners did not treat this matter with urgency and as a result, a cleanup crew was seen yesterday, September 4, 2017 gathering ply woods and other materials to be taken to a dump site.
This measure was taken that in the event of hurricane Irma hitting the Virgin Islands no debris would be caught in the high winds and become projectiles.
Up to this morning, pieces of wood and other debris were still on the ground.
Chairman of the Virgin Islands Festival Committee, Mr Trefor A. Grant was also seen on site.
Irma has been projected to hit the territory as a possible category 5 hurricane.
