RIVA DANCE

It was the first major event since the new owners of Irie Beach River in St Ann opened for business, and what a start! The National Commercial Bank (NCB) family hosted the grandmother of all parties at the venue on Sunday but, you will have to wait till Sunday to get the low-down.

PRO Communications know how to throw a party. They did it like pros at their annual Christmas party at their headquarters on Kingsway on Saturday.
