Republic bank cashes in

The Barbadian cultural spectacle that is Crop Over descended on bustling Broad Street, The City, yesterday for a ceremony to hand over the sponsorship cheque for this year’s opening event.
At the ceremony, which included performances by stiltwalkers, a tuk band, Mother Sallys and a Landship-type group on the main shopping thoroughfare, Republic Bank presented their sponsorship cheque for $65 000 to the National Cultural Foundation for the Crop Over Opening Gala and Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes.
