Early morning shoppers are already lining up in the Market Square from in search of early morning bargains at the annual Carnival Food Fair. The Food Fair is traditionally a giant outdoor reunion of Virgin Islanders, visitors and family living away from home set against a backdrop of heaping dishes, brimming cups and loaded shopping bags. Among the early morning treasures, beautiful plants, fragrant bush tea, fresh local eggs, jars of jams and pastries.
Vendors promise more to come before the day is done.
82 Degrees at 11 a.m. Miss Senior U.S. Virgin Islands led the early evening Quelbe folk music tramp through the Main Street from Rothschild Francis Square to the Carnival Village Tuesday night. Miss Richardson said she felt it was her duty to lead the senior citizens' Carnival tramp. The crowds for the senior citizens and the pre-teen tramp are swelling every year. Also a first this year, an appearance by the Rising Stars Youth Steel Orchestra.
