One of The Bahamas' Best New Year's Eve Fireworks Displays Will Take Place on South Bimini December 31st
The annual New Year's Eve fireworks display at Bimini Sands Resort & Marina's Beach Club location is considered by many to be one of the most spectacular in the Bahamas. Staged by professional U.S. pyrotechnic company Rainbow Fireworks, the show lasts well over half an hour and always includes new and innovative fireworks combinations shot off over the water just south of the Beach Club.
Calls for Animal Abuse With Fireworks To Be Reported
THE Bahamas Humane Society is urging anyone who sees a person abusing animals with fireworks this Halloween to report the incident immediately.
A statement issued on Friday listing precautions for Halloween and Guy Fawkes Day said all cases of animal cruelty should be reported either to the police or the Humane Society.
The statement said: "Jack-o'-lanterns, trick-or-treaters, haunted houses, costume parties and fireworks - Halloween is full of fun things for you and your family to enjoy, but it's one of those holidays that is enjoyed more by people than by pets.
"Keep the following precautions in mind when preparing for the frightfully fun festivities and help ensure that every ...
Remarks by The Prime Minister at the tribute concert and fireworks extrvaganza
Honoured Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I’m going to be very brief because tonight is all about celebration and song.
But I do want to thank Sir Sydney once again, his wife, Lady Poitier, Sir Sydney’s children and the other members of the Poitier family, especially his brother and sister, for joining us this weekend to launch the 40th anniversary celebrations of our Independence.
Let the fireworks begin
It's been four long years since the reigning queen of Soca graced Bahamian shores. But the wait is over! Trinidadian Soca queen, Destra, will close the final weekend in 2011 with a bang.
Destra who is known for her hits "It's Carnival", "I Dare You", "Bacchanal" and "We own it" will bring the Soca fireworks to the stage on the Butler and Sands grounds on JFK Drive tonight at 7 p.m. Depending on how you look at it, she kicks off the final weekend in 2011, or she's getting the New Year's Eve weekend parties started right.
This will be no backyard entertainment according to Robert Nurse, Destra's manager, who spoke to The Nassau Guardian from Trinidad.
"You can expect that after four years away from Bahamian soil, the biggest female Soca star will make up for lost time and really show you what you have been missing."
Nurse said Destra loves performing in The Bahamas and despite her four year absence has been looking for opportunities to come back, but the timing and schedules always conflicted.
"Now the timing is better than ever and she is rearing to go. She will bring an energy packed performance you will not forget. She is known for her style and her presence on the stage. This will not be a sit down or sit still kind of event. You will have a good time and she will not disappoint. So you need to come out and just be ready for her fire and energy because she will own the stage," says Nurse.
He says Destra will sing a lot of her hit songs and maybe even a few new tracks that haven't yet hit the airwaves. She is expected to make this last Soca bash a great cap off to the old year.
Accompanying the Soca queen will be the hot new Soca duo JW and Blaze also from Trinidad whose song "Palance" has been dominating the airwaves.
Patch, the artist who brought you the hit "How Much Inches of Pipe", will make his debut on the Bahamian stage tonight.
The new artists are expected to bring a complimentary vibe to Destra's classic hype and are expected to be the perfect build up to the real showstopper -- Destra.
And no Soca concert could be complete without some Bahamian flavor. That is why the biggest Bahamian Soca band Visage will be sharing the stage throughout the evening as well. They will bring their unique style and flare to an already exciting concert. They will be the perfect topper to this "Soca-rific" event.
This will truly be a concert to end the year right says Brent Ferguson, Burns House group sales manager. He says it is the perfect time to have a concert like this because it brings back memories of the old days.
"Usually at this time of the year it is customary to have a Soca-fest with Byron Lee and the Dragonaires, but since this has not happened for a while, we are more than excited to bring back the old days by having a great Soca event to end the year on the right foot. The older folk would remember the concert being near Junkanoo time and they would attend it, get some 'Soca-cize' and then head off to party at the annual Junkanoo parade well into the morning. So although the timing for Junkanoo is off this year, the event will still go on and be amazing. This will truly be a concert to remember. It will be exciting and you will not want to miss a second of it. Destra will be bringing her band so you won't hear anything on tracks. This will be a live performance like no other. You really have to come to experience the last big concert of the year."
Destra's manager says tonight's concert will be one not to be missed because Destra will bring the energy and fire she's known for to the stage, especially as her last performance in The Bahamas was rained on.
"A Soca concert of this magnitude has not happened for a long time and you don't want to miss it," said Nurse. "Soca is definitely something that is appealing to people of all ages so we do expect to see a wide demographic of attendees.
To up the ante, Burns House will offer drink specials throughout the evening. Prizes to be won throughout the evening include three 4G phones.
Tickets for the concert can be purchased at Butler and Sands' John F. Kennedy Drive and Harbour Bay locations as well as Burns House Saunders Beach, Mall at Marathon and Bernard Road locations.

The Free
National Movement (FNM) government plans to officially open the Thomas
A. Robinson National Stadium, a $30 million gift from the Chinese government,
on Saturday. With the critical issues facing our nation, the Democratic
National Alliance believes this is highly irresponsible and reflects
how out of touch the FNM government has been.
The government
says it will spend between $500,000-$600,00 on the official opening
of the stadium. Minister Charles Maynard is quoted as saying that "the
original budget was around $1 million so the new figure of $600,000
is not exorbitant." The DNA begs to differ. While a government known
for wasteful spending may not see this as exorbitant, the DNA understands

Letter: Disappointed with Bahamas Christmas stamps
EDITOR, The Tribune.
I am writing to say how disappointed I am with the 2010 Bahamas Christmas stamps. I have been purchasing Bahamas Christmas stamps for over 40 years to put on my Christmas cards which I usually mail out to foreign destinations around November 20th, each year.
2010:
70 cents stamps water tower and fireworks display
65 cents Bahamasair jet and fireworks display
15 cents Cruise ship and palm trees and fireworks display.
These stamps commemorate a New Year's celebration - not Christmas!
What was the Post Master General thinking when he chose these stamps? I hope and pray for 2011 the Christmas stamps will once again reflect the reason for the season - Christ ...
