After Pontifical Mass and procession, an evening bringing the feast to an end followed with a wine and pizza party, singing, dancing, wine tasting competition and grand entertainment. Presenter for the evening was the veteran Mr Anthony Grech assisted by the young up and coming Francesca Borg. The latter not only was announcing the events but also sang several hits. The J.A. Dancers presented by Ms Jennifer Attard danced gracefully to their hearts` delight. Established singers also added to the tune accompanied by Cash & Band. Keeping the audience in jovial mood were the well known humoristic Group ZOO. People not familiar with the latter were at first disappointed as they mistakenly expected to see elephants, tigers and the usual animals found in zoos. This disappointment however was soon replaced with delight as the Group started entertaining one and all with their sketches and merry making. The Wine Tasting Competition sponsored by Attard & Co (Food and Wine Division) represented in Gozo by Abraham`s Supplies and with the collaboration of the Xaghra Local Council was meantime going on. It took the judges some hard time tasting the wines coming from various places in Gozo as all were of a high standard. It is pertinent to note that these wines were all produced for home consumption and not available in retail outlets on a commercial basis. First prize went to Mr Joe Mizzi from Gharb. Mr Joe Fiteni grabbed second, third and fifth places while Mr Joe Borg won fourth prize. An event not programmed but dropped from the skies was the rain. For some time, when the show was in full swing, it started raining and everybody ran for shelter except for a couple who were wise enough to bring an umbrella with them and stayed seated in their place huddled under it.
