The celebrations for the day would continue with a softball cricket competition at 9.30 am at the ground along with a family fun day.

The following day there would be a “praise and worship service” at the Independence Arch and all churches are invited to be a part of this event.

Griffith said that on September 23 there would be a spelling bee competition at the Rose Hall Town Primary at 1 pm involving Tain, Rose Hall Town, Belvedere and Port Mourant primary schools.

And to coincide with Education Month, five teachers would be honoured on September 25 for their outstanding services at an Awards Ceremony.

The next day, non-governmental organizations and companies would have a chance to showcase their products and services at the street fair and exhibition followed by an “after-party” at the Area ‘H’ Ground.

The events conclude September 27 with a beach party at the Rose Hall Town beach. Griffith promised that adequate security by the Guyana Police Force would be provided at all of the events.
