BEACON HILL--Carnival troupe leader Gordon Yee will be presenting his costumes for Carnival 50 at Sunset Beach Bar this Sunday starting 7:00pm.
Yee recently returned to the island after suffering two strokes early in 2017. The 22-year Carnival troupe leader had a slow recovery and was not able to participate in last year’s Carnival parades.
He will present 14 sections this year and invites the public to come and see what Yee Productions has to offer for this year’s Carnival 50. “Tributes to SXM Carnival 50” is the theme for his sections. He also plans to present the customary individual pieces with queen costumes.
“It took a while for my health to get better, but when I noticed that Carnival 50 is around the corner, I started to focus all my attention towards getting a troupe together once again to show my respect to the island I love. The troupe will pay tribute to revellers who participated in our troupe for years, with some designs making a comeback,” said Yee.
He is calling all those who never participated in carnival troupes along with his regular mas jumpers to take part in his Carnival 50 troupe. Carnival is a big part of St. Maarten and to pay respect to 50 years, it is only right that persons join a troupe and have fun, he said.
Interested persons can call Yee at 580-5619.
