Backing Crop Over

Share post:

Businessman Paul Johnson is a man prepared to put his money where his mouth is and this year he invested thousands of dollars into creating one of Crop Over 2013’s most popular entertainment spots.
He says the spirits of businesspeople were lifted as some much-needed money was injected into the economy during one of its toughest periods.
His Paul’s Enterprises Ltd runs the Jump Kadooment Band, The Ranch Crop Over Village, the Lucky Horseshoe Steakhouse and Saloon and Paulo’s Churrasco Do Brazil.
According to him, if the Crop Over festival did generate the $86 million Government suggested, then without that money at this time of the year “Barbados would implode”.
