News: Fiery start to Reggae Campfire

THURSDAY EVENING'S prelude to Reggae Campfire 2005, held at the Kabana Restaurant and Garden Bar just above Half-Way Tree, had fiery indications of what the New Year's Eve concert will be like.

The show will be held at the Windalco Sports Club in Ewarton, St. Catherine, with Capleton, Sizzla, Beres Hammond and Bounty Killer among the performers.

"Camp Fire has come together to present a family event. You can bring yu pickney, you can bring your granny," Denise Miller, host of the Thurdsay's presentation, said.

Miss Prendy of Helshire, one of the concert's sponsors, said, "Tonight I want to reach out to all of you, especially the artistes who are reaching the youths, that when we light the candle on New Year's Eve we are putting an end to 2005, with all its bloodshed and violence."

"We ask that when you leave here, you bring peace into your home, your community," she said.
