Broadcaster Jennifer ‘Jenny Jenny’ Small is in high

spirits, as she managed to pull off another successful staging of the Grace

Tropical Rhythms Port Royal Seafood Festival.

Held last Sunday at the Port Royal Football Field,

the event attracted a large number of patrons, including an increase in

children.

“We have achieved our objectives, and what is

good is that we had a lot of children this year. We get the whole family, and

everyone comes out to have a great time,” said Small.

Now in its 16th year, the Grace Tropical Rhythms

Port Royal Seafood Festival has become a staple on the calendar of events

traditionally held over the Heroes Weekend.

“What a fantastic sweet 16 this has been! The

highlights for me was the bingo. We ran out of chairs because it was so well

supported.  The Grace Kitchens Celebrity Cook-off was another highlight.

The participants had a lot of fun,” Small continued.

RJR Gleaner Group’s head honcho Gary Allen won the

Grace Kitchens Celebrity cook-off, beating out five other participants. Media

personality Debbie Bissoon finished in second place while selector and

choreographer Trippple X took third place. The other participants were

broadcaster Wesley ‘Burgerman’ Burger, social media influencer Jehneel and

actor/singer D Burnz.

“The cook-off was nice, you nuh. A from Grade 5 we a cook Sunday dinner, and this was a lot of fun. The friendly rivalry was also good,” said D Burnz. His meal was Grace coconut curried jack mackerel.

Bissoon was also upbeat about her participation.

“I’m from Clarendon and as a middle child,

everyone looked at me to do the cooking. I’m very happy to be here, and the

experience was great,” said Bissoon.

seafood dishes from various vendors, while the children had fun on various

rides.
