While the various festivities at Emancipation Celebrations
were food for the soul local organizers and vendors ensured the
physical body was also well nourished. Members of the community
cooked and baked for days prior to the event. Concession stands
at Jackson Park were set up and patrons enjoyed scrumptious baked
goods and family favourites. Display booth also featured handicrafts.
The celebration was famous for its delicious barbeque. ‘Mr Emancipation’ himself,
Walter Perry, was the proud guardian of the secret sauce. A warning to our readers
simply viewing the following pictures may make your mouth water. |
