-despite inclement weather, hundreds turned out in support of annual event
PRESIDENT  Bharrat Jagdeo, on Sunday evening, participated in the Ministry of Tourism’s Main Big Lime annual event on Main Street, which attracted hundreds who came out to mingle and have fun. The event, which proved to be an overwhelming success despite the inclement weather, is aimed at promoting the Guyanese unique culture, while providing tourists with a spectacular occasion to have ‘reunion’ every year. As usual, many overseas-based Guyanese participated in the event.
President Jagdeo, during his customary walk-about, took the opportunity to greet participants.
The first Main Big Lime was held in 1999, with specific emphasis placed on promoting Guyanese tradition and culture.
