ADDRESS BY HON. JACINTH HENRY-MARTIN, MINISTER OF CULTURE, YOUTH AND SPORTS, ST. KITTS AND NEVIS, AT THE OPENING OF CARIFESTA VII, 17 AUGUST, 2000
Welcome again to the smallest country to host this Region's greatest exposition of Arts and Culture! This reference to our size is not an excuse by any means ... please feel free to consider it a boast that small as we are... our pride and joy at having you here cannot be surpassed. Over the next ten days, you will find yourselves immersed in activities designed to make you proud of yourselves as people of the Caribbean, activities that are educational, culturally stimulating, and highly enriching. Thank you for coming.
