BMEX opens to schools

HUNDREDS OF SCHOOLCHILDREN today soaked up all the offerings of the Barbados Manufacturers Exhibition (BMEX) 2016 with bursting enthusiasm.

Around 10 a.m. many gathered outside the doors of the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre eager to get a peep of the many booths.

The booth of the environmental television show The Zana Series was a big hit among the children. Some said it taught them about growing and caring for plants.

The St Jude’s Primary School 4H Club was also a hit with their Coconut and Pina Colada jam which from all reports received rave reviews.

BMEX will continue until Monday. (MR)
