Sunday August 5th 2018 - Crescent Drive Park
Crescent Park Pavilion
The day started off with several early morning showers and
for awhile it seemed that there was a good chance our annual
'Curry Q' picnic would be cancelled. However, the rain
stopped around 10:00 a.m. and the sun came out and
provided us with some great weather for the rest of the day.
We estimated the crowd to be anywhere close to 200 people.
President Khemraj Ramnarine gave his opening remarks and
welcomed the large crowd.
Suresh 'Bad Boy' Ramberran (on the keyboard above) along with
Khemraj 'Anil Bheem' Ramnarine, Shamina, Bob Balkaran, Ram
'Pretty Boy' Mangroo, Donna (Wade Williams' sister), special bajan
artiste (neighbour to superstar singer Rihanna from Barbados)
provided the crowd with great entertainment all day long.
Dan 'Dancer Boy'Sankar danced up a storm and
showed us some of his many new moves.
Dan is heading to Bollywood to compete later this year.
We thank both DJ 'Riddim Queen' and DJ 'Standby' for their
musical contributions. They each did a fabulous job. We also
want to thank Rani Ramnarine for making the best pelau we
have had in ages. She did a tremendous job single handedly.
Our judges (left to right) Harry Maharaj, Michelle Sellner-Armogan
and John Unger had a most difficult time trying to decide who the
winners were for the best curry meal. The eventual winners were :-
1st place - Krishna Armogan ($100)
2nd place - Lynette Khan ($75)
3rd place - Sadiiqa Mohammed ($50)
Let the flags speak for themselves. A duck curry won!
Congrats! 'No collusion' as Donald Trump would say..
Third place prize was sponsored by ABT Products
(Hand soap & Chemicals for cleaning)
1020 Logan Ave, Winnipeg - (204) 779-2362
The crowd was treated to some great tassa drumming. Two
tassa groups joined forces to produce some of the best tassa
music ever played. At times you felt as though you were
in an indian wedding back home.
The Winnipeg Tassa Symphony. Is tassa in yuh ....
