–organisers aim to make it more memorable than the last

THE Linden Town Week Secretariat, along with the Linden Mayor and Town Council, continues to work diligently to ensure that Linden Town Week (LTW) 2018 is a success.
With less than four months until the event, the Linden Mayor and Town Council has been advancing with ambitious plans to make the calendar of events unique, and to leave a positive mark on the mining town.

A ‘Visitors Park’ is to be established at the Kara-Kara Dyke, which will include recreational amenities, along with a three- dimensional ‘I Love Linden’ sign.
The Town Council, in collaboration with ‘Jai Signs and Auto Sales Supply’, will be setting up 14 street signs, seven of which will be on the Wismar Shore, while the remaining seven will be placed in Mackenzie proper.

In addition, events such as the All-Black Party, the Linden Town Week Pageant among others will be franchised through bidding. Those interested in hosting particular events are expected to write a letter to the Town Council. Applications for bidding of events cost $2500 for stakeholders, while non-profit organisations can get theirs for just $1000.
Also, payment for vending spots will start on March 5 to 23 of 2018, with residents of Linden being given first preference.

This necessary public-private approach to the event’s planning and execution will allow the Council to shoulder responsibility for a few of the community-based events, while leaving the stakeholders to undertake others, in keeping with their corporate social responsibility to Linden.

Linden Town Week (LTW) 2018 is slated for April 22 to May 1, 2018, and will have its own locally-produced jingle and song to showcase local talent.
The Linden Town Council is looking to have magazines done, which will be published during the week of activities, featuring highlights and popular personalities who have contributed to the development of the mining town.

The Council will also be collaborating with the National Communications Network (NCN) and other popular media outlets, the Ministry of Business, the Linden Chamber of Commerce and other major stakeholders to increase awareness of the event, locally and internationally.
