St Kitts and Nevis: Prime Minister Dr Terrance Drew attended the final night of the Independence Amusement Park and hailed the success of the event while thanking the organisers for making it a success.
PM Drew shared the video from the much-awaited Independence Amusement Park, also called the Coney Island held on Sunday, October 06, 2024, and called it a hit!
Prime Minister Drew was also accompanied by his family and cabinet members including the Deputy Prime Minister Dr Geoffry Hanley to the event and expressed delight to see everyone, especially the families, enjoying themselves.
PM Drew shared the glimpses of the Amusement Park Event on his official Facebook account as well and noted that he also joined in on the fun and tried some of the rides.
He also extended big thanks to the organizers and everyone who contributed to making this event a success over the past three weeks.
Additionally, he also shared the highlights of the children and people having a great time at the Coney Island and the locals shared their experience and fun they had.
Two young girls from the event noted, “Do it again next year, yeah do it again,” while some netizens commented “very nice,” “That’s awesome! Congrats!” and much more.
Significantly, local businesses and vendors were supported at the event including snack vendors, local artisans, and people who put together kids’ zone entertainment as the Amusement Park welcomed large number of citizens.
The people have also commended the administration for bringing a Coney Island-Style Amusement Park to St Kitts and Nevis’ 2024 Independence Celebrations.
Notably, the event was kept affordable to all, by keeping the entry free for children and charging only $10 for adults while the cost for rides and prizes started at only $5.
As thousands of families came out to enjoy, the event resulted in favourable profits for the small business owners and turned out to be a massive hit overall.
