Photos: Premier’s Green & White Party

September 10, 2010

The Green & White Beach Party was held tonight [Sept 10] at Snorkel Park in Dockyard. The first event of the “Premier’s Gala Weekend”, the event featured overseas guests including Terrence J from BET’s 106 and Park, talk show host Star Jones, actor Duane Martin, PGA CEO Joe Steranka, as well as actresses Tisha Campbell-Martin and Tichina Arnold. BET 106 & Park’s Rocsi nor Denzel Washington’s wife Pauletta made the event, as the flight they were on reportedly returned to New York.

Locals who came out in the inclement weather included the Premier and his wife Wanda Henton-Brown, Minister Zane DeSilva, Minister Walter Roban, Dame Jennifer Smith, comedian Nadanja Bailey and many more.

Friends, family and supporters of Dr. Brown trekked through downpours and lightening to attend the event, and tents were there to provide cover from the weather. After mingling for a while, a video was shown of friends and supporters expressing their memories of politics in their lives, their feelings and thoughts of Dr. Brown’s legacy and sending their best wishes. Speakers then addressed the crowd and Dr. Brown, including Zane DeSilva, Ira Phillip, Duane and Tisha Martin, Star Jones. Dr. Brown himself then addressed the crowd, expressing his thanks for everyone attending and his plans to retreat from the spotlight for a bit, recharge and decide how he could best continue to serve. After Dr. Brown’s remarks the band and DJ continued with music and a break in the weather allowed the crowd to get up and hit the dance floor.
