Linden Town Week, billed for May 15 to 25 this year, was launched recently under the theme: ‘Reflection, Resilience, Rediscover Linden Celebrating Who We Are.’
Vybz Entertainment currently holds the Linden Town Week franchise and is collaborating with the Linden Town Council to host the ten days of activities.
Vybz Chairman Devin Sears noted that this year is an important year because Guyana is celebrating 50 years as an independent country. He also noted that Linden celebrates 46 years as a town, which he said is quite an achievement. In addition, Linden celebrates 100 years of bauxite mining, the very element that the town has built its fortune on.
Minister within the Minister of Communities Valerie Patterson, a Lindener, gave the feature address. Also present at the launch were former regional chairman Sharma Solomon and , followed by speeches from Sandra Adams regional coordinator for the APNU/AFC in Linden. Linden Town Week started some 20 years ago as Linden Town Day.
