We are sponsoring Ms. Sheerena Richardson, now for over six years, and she will be entering the competition for the solo artiste this year. Our first Ms FLOW for 2016 is Ms. Carencia Rouse, contestant number 4. We are in our sixth year of sponsoring the FLOW Monarch Competition; the fifteenth year sponsoring the Leeward Islands Monarch Competition which is observing its 20th Anniversary. Our sponsorships also include the Eyes Wide Shut event for the second year; the South Valley Festival, a new event for us; and the Parade of Troupes.
