    The morning session for Quao Day, celebration was truly wonderful! I think the Ancestors were pleased to see the effort made to mark this auspicious occasion! We could feel their presence and see their manifestations throughout the morning's proceedings.  They deserved a much larger attendance, but those of us who came, Nana Fofie, kept focused as she skillfully guided us through the programme.   The Charles Town Singers and Drummers provided the music that stirred the Ancestors around and in us, and added historical connections about the Quao, and his men and the war with the English in the environs of the Spanish River. Thanks to Dr. Goffe, for delivering a very passionate presentation and history lesson for some, on how the Maroons used spiritual connections with the ancestors,  Intelligence, strategic planning to his beat the British time, and time again.  Thanks to Pam Hall for agreeing to share her gift of singing with us! It was indeed a pleasure meeting you!

    It would be remiss of me not to mention Mr. Blake-Brown, who kindly assisted us in finding our way to the grounds.  He quite willingly shared with us, his knowledge and history of the Spanish River, then and now, including how the Maroons used the large expanse of land surrounding it, to their advantage in fighting the British.  He insisted that we shouldn't leave without going to the Cotton Tree, where Quao would replenish himself.  I, however, had look forward to doing so, at another time.
