"We only have a few days before the tenth September and the Belize City Council, we have our two day municipal multi-cultural fair which will be held this Sunday and Monday the ninth and tenth of September right at the Old Belize City Technical College Compound and so the entire council, while we will be trying to prepare the offices to offer services back to customers and residents and assisting in terms of getting the city back in order, we will be moving full speed ahead in assisting residents to get back into the September celebrations spirit."
The Belize Poets Showdown and Special Awards was scheduled for tonight. As far as we know -that event is still on hold. As for the carnival, the association will meet tomorrow but the bands are saying that they are not ready for Saturday because they loss 48 hours of critical preparation time. A decision will be made tomorrow evening.
