Grenada Now - by Linda Straker
Carnival stakeholders have openly expressed their disappointment with the arrangement for major events of Grenada’s 2014 Carnival, which officially began on Saturday with the Children’s Carnival Frolic taking place at the Tanteen Netball Court.
Just before the start of the Junior Steelband Competition, David “Peck” Edwards, who is an executive member of the Grenada Steelband Association, informed those attending the event that the red flags which are flown close to the stage area are a sign of protest from the stakeholders with regard to the venue for the major events.
“Spicemas deserves better, you as patrons deserves better, we as stakeholders deserve better. We are not satisfied with the venue, so we are making this small protest to express our non-satisfaction,” he said to the hundreds who were in attendance.
