COLOUR ME RED – The Return
By: Kendell Scady Eugene

I’m sure with all the shows (wet fete, cooler fete), the sounds of soca and calypso music burning the airwaves almost 24 hours a day, parties and competitions going on, we can safely say that we are in the season where we forget about fighting class, all segregation is terminated and people don’t seem to care too much about jumping and waving in a hot sun for six or more hours straight, in costumes representing their favorite bands.

Yes! We are in the Carnival season and all of what was previously mentioned and more form a major part of our carnival celebrations. So with that said revelers and Soca lovers are you ready for the biggest Colour Me Red show? The commercial says it has been seven years in the making, and no doubt RED revelers are patiently waiting for July 13th.
