I know i will be there to contribute in my own way… I love Isidore!!! I have really great memory about this feast…ppl come out in large numbers.
I hope everything goes as planned but GranBay is gonna be on fire…
watt la u right grand bay is the boom,i so mad i not goin be there. stuck up in vi
I would like to there but Grand Bay Isidore is like labor day in New York.
You have to bring up Grand Bay. Why ayou raining on our parade hey?
I know just what you mean, it’s always big!
I appeal to the residents of those areas to come out and support in large numbers. Invite your friends and family in and out of the the area. Let us try to make Isidore what it used to be: a FETE that was alive, colourful, fun, full of excitement. I mean people Isidore in San Sauveur used to be the place to go to during that time for people everywhere on the island, that is the atmosphere we shoud aspire to bring back. Growing up i was not allowed to participate fully in the activities because of my parents religion, i do however have fund memories of going down to San Sauveur on the Monday, eating fish done in all styles,socialising with friends, reuniting with people and friends who i had not seen for a long time, and just having a wonderful relaxed time.
Come one everyone Isidore is our tradition, lets keep it,lets celebrate it and lets make it better this year.
that is so true.@rain isidore used to be the bomb in san sauveur. so many people, so much food, so much fun and to see we just let everything die like that. It is time to bring back these communites and others together again bigger and better than it used to be. I do hope everyone will come and support this year because the proceeds will difinitely be for good use. These buildings really need some help.
