      Well, what can we 
        say about this fete? It has been around for a long, long time and people 
        love it! It's a great party and it lasts all day. The fun starts before 
        you even arrive since many people took a 12 or 25-seater Maxi Taxi to 
        the venue. And we must make mention of this fabulous location ... the 
        scenery is spectacular as the venue overlooks the ocean on the northeast 
        coast of Trinidad. We even overheard people saying that they came just 
        for the ambiance! 
      The "All Inclusive" 
        aspect of this party began as soon as you entered where guests were greeted 
        by a cocktail, as well as, festive paraphernalia such as flowers for women 
        to wear in their hair or flowered garlands to wear around your neck. People 
        definitely seemed to like this touch - we definitely appreciated the gesture. 
      Tickets were $600TT 
        and worth every penny. Nuff people ran away from work to go to this fete 
        - calling in sick and all kinda ting! Yuh know Trinis ... call de bossman 
        first thing in the morning, "Hello, I really not feeling to well 
        today ... like I have some kinda flu or something. I'll try and make it 
        into the office for Friday ... Ehem Ehem." Although it rained, and 
        only part of the venue had shelter, people were still jumping up. Yes, 
        that's right - jumping up in the rain. You know a fete is good when you 
        find yourself jumping and singing in the rain. 
      You know it nice when 
        8pm reach, the party done and the food still serving. And the food was 
        excellent ... every piece of food in there was good. They had Creole food, 
        Chinese food, shish kebabs, seafood and more. People wanted to see that 
        every pot was scraped before they left the party! There was well over 
        1,000 people there. Of course it was sold out, as it is every year!
