The New Year’s garden party at Webster United Church just keeps getting better.
Since the congregation moved the centuries old tradition back to the original venue at the church on Manse Road in Bodden Town, the event has attracted visitors across Grand Cayman.
On Monday, attendees enjoyed traditional music and food in a beautiful seaside setting, accompanied by a cool breeze. A number of mouth-watering local dishes, such as conch, whelk, turtle and beef stew, lobster and fried fish were on sale, as were sides such as rice and beans, potato salad, ‘breadkind’, heavy cakes, cookies and banana cakes.
Along with the food and music, people enjoyed reminiscing as Josie Solomon took to the dance floor. Everyone gathered around to give her support and coax others to join on the dance floor.
Each year, the congregation adds more to the event. This year, the event featured a modern ‘Glamorous Granny’ show, and the young ladies modelled the latest fashion. Local comedian Quincy Brown also made an appearance.
Today, even without the festival, church members still take time to ensure visitors have a good time. Children enjoyed face painting and gift drawing.
