Delegates to be sashed tomorrow
As the date fast approaches for the crowning of a Miss Bartica Regatta 2010 the event coordinators are pulling out all the stops to make the event even bigger and better. Regatta is one of the more talked about Easter weekend events in Guyana that encourages domestic and international tourism.
While the event climaxes on April 5 the excitement begins tomorrow with the official sashing ceremony tomorrow. There will be added entertainment such as a Dance fiesta; that should feature the Classique Dance Company and the Famous Pose dancers.
Outstanding Barticians will also be honoured, among them includes champion racers, footballers and athletes. But while the spotlight will be on the beauties vying for the Miss Regatta crown others who made the region proud will also be honoured with awards for their outstanding performances at the Grades Six and CXC scholarships from 2009 and the showcasing of video highlights from the 2009 pageant and races.
As we did last week we are continuing our feature of three more delegates vying from the crown. This week we introduce to you Nickesha Leanza Fraser, Tiffany Tomeka Wong and Abiola Natoya Allen.

This Capricorn beauty lives daily by her motto “Strive for perfection”. She spend her spare time keeping in contact with those dear to her by texting. Being her first time in pageantry Abiola said it was her boyfriend and mother who convinced her to go for the crown as she puts it. Abiola also feels strongly against child abuse in her community and plans to use this pageant as a stepping stone to highlight and most importantly informs persons of this growing issue.
