COEICH is sponsoring an All Day Festival on Sunday, February 28, 2010 at Miami Beach, location of the Round House palapa.

You can experience food such as Tacari, Dahl roti and others. There will be dancers performing, and you can learn about the East Indian culture at the display booths. There will be a coconut grating contest, masala rubbing, and a horse and carriage ride.

You can select medicinal, ornamental, and culinary plants for your own.

The theme is "Retracing the Footsteps of Our Ancestors."

The time is from 10:00 am until 6:00 p.m.

If you have been looking for an environmentally friendly alternative to non-biodegradable plastics, there is good news!

The Corozal Town Council has been offering local painters, photographers, sculptors, and wood carvers an opportunity to display their work, the second Saturday of each month at Central Park. There is no charge to participate. Interested persons can pick up a guideline sheet at the Town Hall. Last month there was a group of musicians performing and plenty of room for dancing, if you like. You might start thinking about what you want to buy someone for Christmas!

There are pictures from the October Art in the Park in our yearbook, and you can see them about half-way down this page: click here for October 10.

Time and Venue: Saturday, November 14, 10 am - 12 noon, Corozal Town Hall 1st Street South, near Central Park Consultants from the World Wildlife Fund, DFID and Brooksmith Consulting will be in Corozal discussing mangrove conservation including new initiatives (and possible incentives for private property owners) to create mangrove preserves.
