Food tasting fair attracts maximum tourists’ participation!
The activity was designed to allow locals and tourists alike the opportunity to view the art displays in the museum and delight in the tasting of local cuisine.
Among the foods for sampling were the Virgin Islands National Dish 'Fungi and Fish' which, like almost every other dish cuisine that was present, did not last very long because of the overwhelming response of patrons.
The day started off with the life music of the Lashing Dogs setting the stage a-fire with the Caribbean flavour of music. They can be credited for ushering in Taxi loads of tourist who flooded the museum and delighted in the flavours of the local dishes.
As the day progressed it was obvious that many of the local residents took the lunch breaks to support the event and like the tourists, were noticeably pleased with the variety of foods local displayed.
Many were amazed by the handicraft of Mr Gregory Smith, who is visually impaired. His attraction was his more than one year old rectangular bread basket made of dough.
Another table that had a rush was that of Ms Jamila Vanterpool with her 'sweet expressions' cakes and pastries. The same could be said of E and A Caterers with their Pelau; Mariette Fahie with the salt fish cakes and others. The guava berry wine was also a catch of the day.
The presence of young dancers and the moko jumbies also added to the success of the day.
Activities of the festival of arts continue on March 7, 2013 with the performing arts 'BVI in times Past' to be staged at Eileene L. Parsons Auditorium, HL SCC. Then there is the scheduled visual Arts 'A mountain top art gallery and Museum' on March 12, 2013 at Fahie Hill Watch House. That will feature guided tours, storytelling, entertainment and cultural treats.
