THE FESTIVAL IS OVER, AND A GREAT PRODUCTION IT WAS.Pictured is one of the floats that participated in the parade.
The Borja family won $500 for winning the float competition. Saying it was their second time to participate in the contest, Ignacio Borja and his family portrayed aspects of the Chamorro cultural heritage on their float. Their float had a traditional house, family members in local attire, local fruit, vegetables and utensils as well as 200-year-old artifacts.
More about the festival.....The Parade of Cultures started early Saturday morning starting from the Oleai Beach Bar and Grill all the way up to the festival grounds. The parade though short compared to last year, was deemed successful by many due to the enduring participation of delegates from Guam, Republic of Palau, as well as from Rota and Tinian.
Right after the parade, a select panel of judges went from one booth to another to scrutinize the designs and layout of each participating booth for the Booth Competition.
Judges had hard time judging the booth as it took them before lunchtime to complete the list. In the end, the booth of artist and craftsman Bas Tajibmai took home first place. He won $500 for the award. It was a very good time for all, congratulations to all involved in putting this together. Enjoy your day!.. .......GED.......
