Eleuthera's 2008 Junior Junkanoo was
held in Tarpum Bay on the afternoon of Saturday, December 13 in
the presence of about 2000 persons according to an estimate by
organisers. Four primary schools (Weymss Bight, Tarpum Bay, Emma
Cooper and Green Castle), one junior high (Deep Creek) and two
senior high schools (Preston Albury and Spanish Wells)
participated. Tarpum Bay prevailed in the category A primary
division with Weymss Bight and Emma Cooper close behind and
Preston Albury won out in the senior division. The category B
primary division's one participant, Green Castle won by default.
Similarly, Deep Creek the sole competitors in the junior high
division took their default win.
Key Organizer, Mr. Johnny Butler
commented that their were fewer schools involved this year with
some having challenges with the cost of participation, however,
he was heartened to see Spanish Wells and Deep Creek, who were
both first time competitors.
Ongoing challenges with deciding the
venue delayed official announcement of this year's event.
However, The Eleutheran was told that the committee is working
to resolve those issues. |
