COMET THE DONKEY and little Darius Greenidge took pride of place yesterday at the First Citizens Crop Over City Fest & Ceremonial Delivery Of The Last Canes.

Held in Heroes Square, the parade, while low-keyed this year, still had lots of entertainment from stiltwalkers, Dancin’ Africa, tuk bands and the Christ Church Girls’ cheerleaders. 

A small group of sugar workers also walked behind a cane loader, pulling a small cart with a molasses barrel.

Members of the Sons of God Apostolic Spiritual Baptist closed the parade which started around 3:45 p.m. (NS)
