Suriname kicks off IGG first stage with cultural extravaganza

By Kiev Chesney
The first stage for the 2008 Inter-Guiana Games blossomed yesterday morning  as host country Suriname put on a cultural extravaganza at the Parima Swimming facility for the other two participating countries, Guyana and French Guiana- who collectively completed a journey of more than 36 hours.

At just about 10:30am, the teams assembled on the spacious deck of the Parima facility and participated in a march-past which was led by a group of female dancers who were performing to the melodic sounds of the Parbo Brass Band that followed.
