INTERMITTENT rain failed to dampen the spirits of an estimated 100 guests who turned out for a night of fun, food and dancing in the gardens of the Embassy of The Bahamas, in Washington, DC, on Saturday.
Promoted as a “Caribbean Party at the Embassy of the Bahamas with the New Ambassador,” the event was sponsored by ‘Things to Do DC’, which bills itself as “the premier social and networking organisation for young professionals.”
Dr Eugene Newry, Bahamas Ambassador to the United States, and Paulette Zonicle, Bahamas Consul General to Washington, DC, welcomed the guests to the Embassy during brief remarks.
Guests dined on traditional Caribbean cuisine, including such Bahamian staples as peas and rice, fried plantain and conch fritters and the traditional Jamaican dish curried chicken, along with an assortment of deserts. Caribbean dance music was provided by Ryan Browne (DJ Pumpkin).
