The artistic, impressive and memorable achievements of Lord Karessah (Greg), and Soul Puss (Dave), determinedly remind us, that the people of Marigot are very intelligent, talented and motivated. It is this relentless motivation which will triumphantly return, and keep Marigot, in its appropriate and cultural place on the map. Ultimately, our goal is to have a beauty contestant from the village of Marigot, compete in the Ms. Dominica competition, in Roseau, possibly for 2011 Carnival.

I am planning to work along with Cheryl Abraham and others, to facilitate the process. Auditions will begin in May. Parents will be notified of the selection process of boys and girls, who are serious and willing to participate in 2011 Carnival activities. Children will be selected for the following events: calypso show, princess show. They will also be invited to join in one of our costume bands for the Kiddies’ Carnival, on Carnival Sunday afternoon. It is very important to begin the selection process early, so that all contestants can be professionally trained, and ready to compete in the pageant shows.

A queen show and calypso show will also be considered, for Carnival 2011.

Hosting our own pageant and calypso shows in Marigot, will increase self esteem, create pride and joy in our village, while contestants showcase their talent, confidence, and intelligence as they compete to win and keep Marigot on the map.

We are determined to return beauty pageants and calypso shows to Marigot; however, we can only be successful with the cooperation of those who would also like to see the beauty and elegance of the village showcased, positively, culturally and internationally. If you and your friends would like to see the return of beauty pageants and calypso shows to the lovely village of Marigot, for the 2011 Carnival celebrations, please support the effort by encouraging others to join the “TEAM” by making an early and serious commitment to the cause, because, “Together Everyone Achieves More,” the results will be significantly greater — recognition undeniable — a big plus for Marigot.

Additional information will be posted as we work through the planning process.
