East End kept up their reputation for putting their heart and soul into their Heritage Day displays.

There was plenty to see, – such as antiques belonging to East End collector William Bodden. There was also an impressive display of old photos and letters and other documents.

Then there were traditional craft items, such as silver thatch baskets and bonnets, along with colourful dresses made by the ladies of the East End group, Creative Hands.

Yvonne Chambers’ hand-knitted dolls were on display. Ms Chambers makes not only the dolls, but their costumes too. Also on display were some knitted blue and green iguanas.

Next to Ms Chambers, Randy Price was demonstrating a very unique art – he was showing visitors how he makes intricately carved pendants and other jewellery out of coins

There was plenty to hear -such as a story being told by Rose Hurlstone, as well as lively music from the sound system, where some of the children were practicing old-time Cayman quadrille dancing

There was plenty to do – with guided tours of East End landmarks such as the Granny Sarah old nature well, the caves, and the lighthouse.

And last, but by no means least, there was plenty to taste – from traditional ice cream made by hand with ice cubes in an old wooden ice-cream maker, turtle stew, delicious conch, and of course, no heritage day would be complete without Cayman’s heavy cakes and sweet puddings.

Later in the afternoon there was a visit from  the Seattle Seafair Pirates, who Yo Ho Ho-ed and Arghhh-ed their way around the different stalls, sampling the very best that East End had to offer.
