In the spirit of Christmas and Community, the South Hill Community Club organized the 6th annual South Hill Christmas Experience and Lighting Parade which took place on December 19th, 2018 on the Field Opposite Greig’s Trucking.
The action kicked off with breakfast from 7 am where hot cakes, salt fish and lion fish amongst other food items were sold. The rock oven kept busy all day baking Johnny cakes which most festival goers requested butter as the only accompaniment to them.
There was live entertainment by Musical Brothers, Mystic Vibes, DJ Legend, DJ Kue, DJ Sugar & Synergy Band. Additionally, Malachi Hughes and Carjeneé Maccow-Niles (Prince & Princess 2018) did a talent rendition and lead the Lighting Parade.
The Lighting Parade sponsored by FLOW was one of the main events of the South Hill Christmas Experience. Both adults and children, decorated in their glow sticks, followed the lighted floats around Back Street. The pulsating sounds from the drumming of the Boys Brigade and the rhythm from DJ Vicious were the musical entertainment for the parade. Additionally, following the parade, gifts and cupcakes were given to the children and the children also participated in a Ginger Bread house decorating event.
This year the Club welcomed back the Best Outdoor Decorating Competition, Mr. & Mrs. Godfrey Carty reigned victorious and second place went to Mr. & Mrs. Rickford (Perry) Hughes. ANGLEC was the main sponsor for the competition and the winners received EC$300.00 and EC$200.00 credit respectively.
