 This is one of the more spectacular images of St. Lucia's cultural tradition, Fetla was, or as it is referred to in English, the face of Rose Delaymer. A number of groups participated in this year's La Rose Celebration, which took place in the community of the Erisou, and once again, some of the more established ones, namely Chousel, Castris, Moshi, Grenovier, among others, came into full force. A feature of this year's festivity was the participation of young people. The successful organization of this year's La Rose Celebration was due to the hard work of the Department of Culture. For the past few years, two government ministers have been at the forefront of the celebration. This year, the two government ministers have been at the forefront of the celebration, which is what we hope to do in the future. The celebration is still going on. The celebration is still going on. The celebration is still going on. The celebration is still going on. It is a celebration of the celebration. the real grand finale which we are experiencing today. And what you're seeing today is what we are trying to, we have been trying to do for the past year or so. Bring them all out into a special community where they have their motor cane, their trade service, and everybody comes together now on the stage and does an act every now and then dealing with the whole business of lours. So this is what is happening here today. And what I would like to stress is that there are a lot of people here today but what impresses me most is the number of young people. And it means that our culture is alive and well if we can have so many young people here both in the sense of participating and in the sense of actually observing what is going on. What would have happened here? Perhaps there would be greater participation. I am in no way mooting the idea of a holiday for lours although it is something that I guess people can think of. But generally speaking I think it is very well attended and it is happening to see so many people here today.
