“PLAY DE MUSIC” and dress up the place to ensure Crop Over is ever present.

That is the admonition from Minister of Culture Stephen Lashley who, yesterday, tasked authorities at the Grantley Adams International Airport and the Barbados Port with making those two ports of entry lively when Crop Over rolls around to reflect the festive mood.

“We want to see this year a bit more uptempo action at our ports of entry. Just like how we could have our calypsonians being celebrated in Trinidad at the airport, and the vibe is right, I want to see adorning the airport something that tells me Crop Over is happening in Barbados,” he said to loud applause.

He made the call at the Sponsors Launch at Kensington Oval, where a representative from at least one of the entities was in attendance. (YB)
