Excitement is permeating the Lauderhill air as the date draws closer for Jamaica’s 64th Independence celebration, which is being packaged as “an unforgettable evening of culture, music, and national pride”. The event, scheduled for Saturday, August 8, at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center in Florida, is being organised by Lauderhill Mayor Denise D. Grant and Commissioner John T. Hodgson – both Jamaica-born – and their dedicated team.
