The TC Friends of the Arts hosted the 4th annual Art and Crafts Expo at Blue Haven with over 35 exhibitors present in the tent. A sum of USD 1,543 was raised for TC FAF’s scholarship fund.
10 students of the Turks and Caicos Community College supported the event by joining the Blue Haven Resort and Marina team this weekend to gain experience in event management and resort operations. The team worked in different areas throughout the weekend. This is part of a larger ambassador program that the Community College and Blue Haven Resort and Marina have initiated to support the college’s longterm sustainability and give the students hands-on work experience allowing them to enter into the TCI hospitality industry after their studies.
The entire opening weekend was dedicated to the Enable Passion kiteboarding team that is currently crossing the Atlantic ocean expected to arrive in Turks and Caicos at Blue Haven on Tuesday, Dec 17th. Blue Haven and our kiteboarding partner Big Blue Unlimited are organizing for a group of local kite boarders to meet the Enable Passion team and kite onto our TCI shores with great community support. Any local kite boarders that wish to join have to register with Big Blue Unlimited to ensure a safe and well organized process for this global sporting event. Briefing for the kiters is being held on Wednesday, Dec 11th 6pm at Salt Bar & Grill.
Kitch Penn organized a Junkanoo to complete the event activities.
The new Fire & Ice restaurant was successfully opened on Saturday. Special on the menu are the daily signature North Caicos pig roast and clam bake.
We hope to see many community members regularly for dinner according to the Management.
