House of Culture entertainmnet weekend in Corozal


Oct 11th - It was an excellent lecture and presentation at the Corozal House of Culture by Mexican Historian Manuel Villanueva Enriquez of Chetumal MX, who eloquently spoke on the history of the Caste War and the Mestizo Culture and... the influences in Corozal and Orange Walk which the war played in our Belizean history. I personally learnt that there is so much in common between the people of Corozal and Chetumal. So much family ties. So much in the food we share. What a great lecture. Hats off to the Corozal House of Culture (NICH) and the organizers of COLCHA for bringing this great and important historical event to our doorsteps. If you weren't there then you missed out.



On Oct 12th There where many activities that took place at Corozal. It was a breezy, clear day, on the afternoon on Saturday, The teams from the Sailing Club Corozal, San Pedro, and Placencia raced away for the Regatta Race. Caye Caulker Sailing is a new group that just joined and they are getting their equipment's for the next race. They made a two hours race, that was an enjoyable race to see. As the people stood by watching the Regatta Race I went for a walk and there where food and drinks, Art painting, souviner's where on Sale.  At Seven pm on Saturday Night, The Coronation took place at the House of Culture. Miss Embassador 2012 said her finals words as miss 2013 was given the crown.
