Kamla, Jack miss UNC 'Dollar fete'

Rain created a muddy mess at the UNC fete but that didn't stop people from having a grand time
The political leader of the United National Congress (UNC) missed Saturday's annual 'Dollar fete' as did the party's chairman, Jack Warner.

Reporters learned during the event that Persad-Bissessar would be absent. Media reports say the "unofficial" reason was that she was not feeling well. Warner was out of the country on Saturday night.

It is Warner who created the dollar fete a few years ago when he was a Deputy Chairman of the party to give people who cannot generally afford to attend Carnival fetes an opportunity to enjoy themselves with the same high quality of entertainment that is common at the big, expensive fetes.

The event has always been a big hit with party members and the public. Several cabinet ministers attended the fete, which was attended by about 6,000 people at the Couva south constituency grounds. The entertainment was provided by TTEC Gayatones, JMC 3Veni and Roy Cape and the All Stars.
