VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI – When the Virgin Gorda Easter Festival Committee decided to change the customary route of the annual Rise & Shine tramp to start from the Virgin Gorda branch of the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College, they were answering a popular call.
The tramp which was staged earlier this morning April 21, 2014 saw one of the largest crowds in years and one that way surpassed that of 2013.
It was the party truck which had on board Virgin Islands (VI) local Boss from the Showtime band alongside Kylo, Daddy Shaw, Daddy Saso and Poison band that kept the pace along the route until they got to the Grace Vanterpool Festiville where they unified as one until the 8:00 hour.
Members of the committee including its Chair Ms Sasha D. A. Flax and Public Relations Officer Mr Jerrell A. Gorge were all on point from the start, making their observations and assisting the security forces including the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) in keeping an eagle eye to ensure all goes well.
Speaking with this news site shortly before the close of music for the early morning tramp PRO George said that the committee was very pleased that they were successful at answering most of the calls especially those of breakfast vendors.
He said that in some way or the other all the businesses/food houses/stalls were able to cash in on sales that they did not enjoy in previous years.
He said that there is some tweaking to be done to make even better in the future but the fact that they listened to the calls gave some sense of accomplishment.
Commenting on the mix of trampers Mr George said that the rise and shine fete was dominated by the more youthful population. He said that in years gone by the involvement of the more grown folks was the order of the day.
“I think it was the bands that made the difference but we want to have everyone participate so that’s one thing for us to examine by probably including another truck for the more mature people,” he said.

N...ga Plz.... which other caribbean Island DONT have Juvert???? Its a Caribbean thing. Yall always want to be Miss Too Goody and still taking all sorts of men secretly in the background!!! The only thing I agree...is that they can switch this propaganda from being on Easter,.,...But other than that, just stay home. Young ppl will ALWAYS find a way to do things if they want to do it....Public dancing will not hinder such actions!!
good job to the committee hope you take the lil mistakes n turn them into big n better things next year..
