The hot weather made for a later event as the people didn’t seem to make it to the park until about 7pm (recovering from the night before, no less), but it still was a great time! It was all about family fun, music by Star Temple CB (flying solo these days), and of course soccer.
There were a few vendors on hand for the event. As usual, Dailey’s supplied smoothies, beef patties and other treats alongside the jump around – always popular with the kids. Uprising International was in the place selling t-shirts, CD’s and DVD’s of the past few dances. There was also great food; the grilled jerk chicken with rice and peas hit the spot!It is always great to see the people ‘outside the dance’, as you can get a feel for them on a different level. …A little less makeup, a little less liquor, a little less posing – well for some. But, nonetheless it is good to see people with their families, since you don’t get to see that side at the dance.
Feeling the family vibe at the park were Sharon and her cute daughter, Maggie Untouchable, Michie Boo (recovering nicely from the Club Center), New Horizon, Punkie, Patrick-getting ready for his sell off bash THIS Saturday, KC Platinum with ‘My Wife and Kids’ – also took time to play in the soccer game, Leisa Engel (sipping Red Bull, she says), the Blaze Crew, Ocie, Ajoy, Makka B, The Barbie Doll/Bashment Crew sliding through with pics from Toya Barbie’s dance, First Class, Ms. Trini and Flavor Unit. Trust me, there were a lot of people out there……
Although this was a day to celebrate Jamaica Independence, it was still business as usual as the Sunday soccer continued with two soccer matches; Garfield VS. Uprising International at 6:30 followed by Rabbit VS. Village at 7:30. Although the games had many attendees full attention, here is an update if you happened to miss the games:
In the first game, it was an easy win for Garfield as Uprising had to forfeit the game since they didn’t have enough players to compete. But in the spirit of sportsmanship, both teams decided to complete the game for fun as Garfield beat Uprising, 1-0.
Game 2 featured Village VS. Rabbit as the teams played on well into dusk. Village earned 2 points from Team K-Pacca. Rabbit returned the favor by scoring 2 points from Banton and leading scorer for Village, Bust-Out-Head.Big up Punkie for the updates (Chat ‘Bout was watching, but….)
After the great time I had Sunday, August 17th – for the Soccer Tournament is a must! Here are a few pics from the event.
Enjoy!
