Cap off a great year at Reggae Marathon

October 10, 2012 0 0

It’s been a great year so far to celebrate being Jamaican:

The performance of the Jamaican Olympic Team in London
The Marley movie
Jamaica’s 50th Anniversary of Independence

For a little island in the Caribbean we sure know how to to get attention on the world stage. The number of ‘Jamaicans’ continues to grow each year…some natural, some by association!

And it’s not over yet: Reggae Marathon on December 1 is the perfect way to cap off a fabulous 2012!
