Engaging craftsmen and women above the din of the music blaring from speakers mounted on a giant truck on Main Street last Saturday evening felt, at times, like ‘sheer torture.’ It would be altogether surprising if the large crowd that turned up to view the displays and perhaps make some purchases would not have been less than pleased to find that their pursuit was being compromised by the deafening decibel level of the music.
Last Saturday evening, the two decidedly didn’t ‘go together. Christmas, as we are inclined to say around this time of year, is “just around the corner”, so that some of the visitors to last Saturday’s Heritage event would have turned up with Cassareep on their minds. That would not have been all, however. The available, decidedly pleasing evidence suggests that indigenous craft and cuisine have, over time, found their way into the mainstream market whilst some of the cuisine is ‘getting there.’ Last Saturday, therefore, appeared to have all of the makings of a potentially lucrative trading day.
