THE Guyana Festival Committee on Thursday handed over a Toyota Runx, to the lucky winner of the Guyana Festival Gate Prize, Mahadeo Singh of Unity, East Coast Demerara.

The handing over ceremony was held in front of the Ministry of Tourism, Trade and Commerce, located at 229 South Road, Lacytown, Georgetown.

Tourism Minister (ag), Irfaan Ali said the event was a grand success and will mark the journey to the next festival. The Minister noted that the coupons were placed in the Guyana Festival Passport.
He also indicated that this promotion was sponsored by R MAYE Hardware, Guyana Incorporated, located at 477 Plantation Site, Providence, East Bank Demerara.

Minister Ali added that the Guyana Festival attracted the support of corporate Guyana in a tremendous way. “I thank all the sponsors, because without them the grand success of the Guyana Festival would not have been possible. It represented unity and diversity,” he explained.

Representing R MAYE Hardware, Roshini Ravina Maniram, Assistant Manager, explained that the company had committed to this promotion, and is presenting the car to the lucky winner. She also encouraged customers to visit the company to obtain hardware items at best prices.

The winner of the Toyota car, Mahadeo Singh, told Guyana Chronicle that the day after the Guyana Festival had concluded, he received word that he had won the car.

“I was excited! I can’t explain how I’m feeling. When I got the call from the Deputy Permanent Secretary, I screamed. This is the first time I (have ever) won anything. My family is very happy. It will help us a lot. Purchasing a car on your own is a completely different feeling from winning,” he said.

Also present was his wife, Maharani Singh, who told the Guyana Chronicle that winning a car is beyond her dreams. She said, “When I saw the coupons I was hoping that we win. When we got the call I was speechless.”

The key to the Toyota Runx was presented to the Singh family by Chief Protocol Officer, Vick Persaud, from the Office of the President.

The ‘Sound, Soul and Taste’ of Guyana was presented to the world through a spectacular display of art, craft, dance, drama, music, and cuisine. It attracted multiple thousands to the venue to indulge in the treats available, and to delight in the cultural atmosphere.
