THE Grand Bahama Junkanoo Committee and the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture has announced the 19th annual Junior Junkanoo Parade will be held on Saturday, February 10 in downtown Freeport at 5pm.
Some 29 schools are lined up to participate, including eight pre-schools on the island.

The parade was initially scheduled for January 29, but was postponed due to bad weather.
Kevin Russell, co-chairman of the GBJC, said the new date was set after consultation with all stakeholders.
Monique Leary, of the Ministry of Youth Sports and Culture in Freeport, thanked the stakeholders for their support, including the City of Freeport Council, the Royal Bahamas Police Force and Grand Bahama community.
She urged residents to continue to support the country's youngsters as they celebrate their culture.
Karen Ferguson-Bain said the parade is expected to be a spectacular one, and said vendors will be out in force serving hot food and beverages.

I thought they already had this before Christmas. Those kids need to learn schoolwork.
