IT WAS THE last blast for hundreds of guests attending the Prime Minister’s ninth annual Crop Over Reception on Thursday night.

Stars of this year’s festival took to the stage to give performances that reflected the excitement of the competitive Crop Over musical events that produced kings and queens.

Winner of Sweet Soca, Red Plastic Bag; Party Monarch Lil Rick; Junior Monarchs Sparkle T and Mizz Kibaba and Pic-O- De-Crop winner iWeb transferred their competition night energy to the Ilaro Court stage, belting out their winning hits.

In turn, cocktail glasses and plates of sumptuous fare were temporarily set aside as guests danced and waved on the grounds of Ilaro Court transformed with colourful lights and bunting, creating a festival atmosphere days after the curtain officially came down on Crop Over 2017. (GC)
