ON THE SCENE: Highlights from Festival Queen finale, Jamaica Tallawahs triumph, and Grand Gala festivities
LAUGHING MATTER: August 6, Kingston. PM Andrew Holness, wife and MP Juliet Holness, and Culture minister Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange are in high spirits as they arrive at the National Stadium on Saturday evening for the start of the Grand Gala celebrations, which culminated with a round of fireworks. Grange is due to fly off to Rio, Brazil, this weekend to join up with Team Jamaica officials at the Olympic Games, in time for the track-and-field action. (Photo: Jamaica House/Facebook)
CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON: August 7, St. Kitts. Isn’t Chris Gayle having the best year ever? After welcoming the birth of his daughter and releasing his memoir, Six Machine, in June, the ace batsman captained his team, the Jamaica Tallawahs, to the 2016 Hero CPL cricket championship title (what a big trophy!) on the weekend. Playing at Warner Park in Basseterre, the Tallawahs defeated the Warriors of Guyana to secure the trophy. (Photo: Jamaica Tallawahs/Facebook)
