The Society hosted its annual Chef and Bartender of the Year competition at the Marriott hotel.

A large crowd gathered on George Town’s waterfront to watch the contestants sashay down the runway in a selection of stunning designs, all with a Cayman theme.

Javette Davis took home the title for her imaginatively designed costume, Cayman Brac’s Red Footed Booby.

Ismary Torres took second place, Christine Powell third and Patricia Plummer fourth.

The most imaginative award when to Briana Espiana for her stunning costume, which highlighted the plight of Cayman’s native Blue Iguanas.

Daryl Barnes garnered the Dancing Queen title.

Event co-ordinator Dwight McLean said although the event was a success he was disappointed the judges did not show.

‘We were very disappointed that only one judge showed up – Kavata Hanson. She helped decide the top six and the winners were chosen by crowd applause.’
