The 2018 September Celebrations Launch was yesterday at Falcon Field. It was a fun day for everyone. Plenty of great music from Los Hijos del West and the New Sensation Band, along with some nice choreographed dances from the Western Heat Dance Company.
The National Channel got video of much of the festivities.
"Sunday August 26th, His Worship Mayor Earl Trapp and the San Ignacio - Santa Elena Town Council hosted the Launch of the September Celebrations 2018. The Launch was attended by His Excellency Sir Colville Young, Governor General of Belize, who conducted the inspection of the Belize Defence Force Guard of Honour. Other honorable guests included Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the National Celebrations Commission, Hon. Patrick Faber. Hon. Orlando Habet, Area Representative for the Cayo North East, represented the People’s United Party, several members of the House of Representatives, Chief Executive Officers, members of the San Ignacio – Santa Elena Town Council, other invited guests and members of the public were in the audience.
After moving speeches by Mayor Trapp and Deputy Prime Minister Faber centered around the September Celebrations Theme, “Belize Da Fu Wi - Now and Forever, 8867”, Minister Faber presented the cash prize to the creator of this year’s theme, Mrs. Fernanda Tun. A moving presentation of song and cultural dances by the Western Heat Dance Company followed and made the event distinctly representative of the cultures of “El Cayo” in its appeal. As a part of the ceremony Mayor Trapp was asked to select, via a random lotto pick, the municipality that will host the 2019 Launch of the September Celebrations and chose “Punta Gorda”.
Music, dance and much festivity filled the Falcon Field at the end of the official ceremony. Surely a forerunner to the events planned and anxiously anticipated for the National September Celebrations."
