STILL in the Mash spirit, many persons were seen gathering yesterday to ‘gaff’ about Mash Day activities.

After having a ‘whale of a time’ along the parade route in the blazing sun, persons returned to work yesterday all hyped up about the just-concluded festivities.
Costume Bands ‘took to de road’ from 10:00 hrs, each charting the course for hundreds of revellers who proudly displayed uniquely designed costumes in rampant colour, and audacious glitter as they depicted scenarios chosen by individual competing entities, but in keeping with this year’s theme of ‘One People, One Culture, One Celebration.’
As usual, tens of thousands of residents and visiting Guyanese, as well as tourists lined the parade route in true picnic style, their attention captivated by the revelry, especially along upper Church Street and on Irving Street and Vlissengen Road, the hub of the celebrations.
