 Jamaica Gleaner - Albert Town braces for 'Yamboree' - Thursday March 21, 2002
"The schools saw it (absence of Yam Festival) as an opportunity to come up with something," said Rudolph Brown, the Principal of Albert Town High, whose school is hosting the event.
The organisers have high hopes that with the improvement of the road conditions from Christiana and Jackson Town to Albert Town, they will have heavy traffic heading in that direction come April 1.
Brown said, "that was not the idea when the concept came about and we would not want to steal the lime light from Yam Festival." He said they were toying with the idea of having a South Trelawny homecoming in August instead.
