From VCACA President: A Thank You Letter

CaribFest 2k7 was a hit and I was especially happy to see so many patrons and citizens of Hampton Roads in attendance. CaribFest, although in its second year, had great participation and great fun.

Now it's time for a thank-you note to all those who made this event possible. On behalf of the Board of VCACA, “Thank you!” Thank you to the City of Norfolk’s Vice Mayor Anthony Burfoot, Tracey Derring, Police Officers and Sheriffs and other staff members, Harbor Park Staff, our Sponsors, Volunteers, Vendors, Bandleaders and their Members, and Performing Artists for making CaribFest a huge success and for giving us an opportunity to create and showcase a unique, multicultural Caribbean event. I had LOADS of fun and I hope so did you.

I'd like to especially thank the CaribFest Committee Members who worked tirelessly to make this festival a success…THANK YOU! CaribFest not only, featured excellent Caribbean music from around the country and the Caribbean, but also delicious Caribbean food from our many vendors, and Arts & Crafts Vendors that traveled from afar.

In the coming months, we will again ask for your help in a few ways. From all of you, we will need ideas. From some of you, funding, and from others, your labor as we gear up for next year’s event.

Again, THANK YOU to all who contributed and participated!!!
