Today, the 53rd Annual Agriculture and Food Fair stands as a testament to the resiliency of all Virgin Islanders. It exemplifies the great entrepreneurial spirit that runs like a beautiful song throughout the Islands. AgriFest has grown to be the stellar event that brings out the best in its people because the people themselves have dug in their heels, time and again, when all looked lost they have banded together and gone back and worked the soil, worked their jobs, and saved the soul of this great place.
AgriFest sings so many beautiful songs at the same time. It sings about togetherness. It sings about pride. It sings about the never say die spirit of Virgin Islanders. It sings loud and clear about our love and respect for this land we love and cherish. When we walk across the Fairgrounds and smile and laugh with our fellow Crucians it is also a song we all know: To celebrate life.
