THE Linden Mayor and Town Council is calling on all entrepreneurs to help make this year’s Linden Town Week exhibition a success by giving it some new perspective so as to leave a lasting impression on the minds of patrons.

According to Social Chairman and Town Week Coordinator, Norvell Fredricks, their priority this year is to reincorporate “some of the things that made the original Linden Town Day the success it was; things like the various exhibitions and activities for the children.

“We want to appeal to persons who have things to exhibit; whether they are doing craft or furniture. Whatever they are doing that they are proud of,” Fredricks said, adding:

“There is so much that we are expecting to happen; and so much can happen when people participate. So I’m calling on everyone. It’s not just the dances and the parties, but the spirit of Linden. It’s what makes us Lindeners; it’s what makes us proud to be Lindeners.”
Exhibitors who are showcasing produce indigenous to Linden will be placed at the forefront of the event, Fredricks said.

Rather than just entertainment, the week of activities, he said, will emphasise enlightenment about the town of Linden; how it has developed over the years; its main economic activities; past Mayors and Councilors and so on.

The LMTC, Fredricks said, is ideally working towards restoring the original way in which the Town Week was celebrated, so that patrons can experience Linden from a social, economic and cultural perspective, whikle still retaining some of the more popular aspects of the celebration, such as the Linden Town Week Pageant, the Big and Bold Pageant, the All-Black Party and other categories of entertainment such as sports, culture, tourism, health and agriculture.

The highly-anticipated event is slated for April 20 to May 1, 2019, and will be celebrated under the theme, “Rekindling our culture”.
