…as Courts Guyana brings the Christmas spirit to the shopping centre

COURTS Guyana Inc. last evening once again ushered in the festive spirit by lighting up its Christmas trees, where hundreds filled that section of Main Street, Georgetown.

The lights were switched on by Acting President Samuel Hinds, who was accompanied by his wife, Yvonne Hinds, as the crowd cheered lustily.
Following a colourful, cultural programme of songs and dances by various local artistes, the Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce, Irfaan Ali congratulated Courts for once again bringing the beauty and joy of Christmas to Guyanese.
In his address last night, he added that it was pleasant to see the furniture giant keeping the feeling of the festive season alive and bringing together so many people for a few hours of festive fun and frolic.

Ali advised that during this season we seek to comfort those among us who are unhappy, such as the relatives and friends of those who died in the shooting in the city last Tuesday.
He also asked that we keep in our prayers the people of the Philippines, whose country was devastated by a powerful typhoon.
He also urged Guyanese to promote a domestic violence free Christmas season.

In brief remarks, Courts Guyana Inc. Managing Director, Clyde de Haas said that every year the company makes it a priority to host and sponsor the event as a way of conveying gratitude to their customers and all Guyanese.
He added that Courts Guyana Inc. always seeks to extend customer satisfaction with their quality and latest models of products, at the best prices for the ultimate shopping experience in keeping with the company’s trademark “Bringing Value Home”.
De Haas noted that for this season they have a promotion going and he urged customers to also look forward to their annual Road Show, as he extended season’s greetings to all Guyanese.
Guyanese last evening showed up in their numbers as they lined Main Street from the Bank of Guyana to as far as Demico Quik Service (Arapaima) outlet, with hundreds of children in tow, who patiently

awaited the arrival of Santa Claus with his team of cartoon characters on a truck, with Mrs. Claus dancing to popular songs.
