Artistes
lined up to take the stage and
give blessings to Usain Bolt.
Thursday September 25; Kingston,
Jamaica: When Shaggy took
the stage at 1:30am Sunday morning
there was little more he could
to raise the tempo of a concert
that had took the 45,000 William
Knibb crowd by storm. The No Joke
Entertainment produced Usain Bolt
Homecoming celebrations fulfilled
expectations beyond measure.
"The show was exquisite,
we had high hopes but these were
exceeded by the outpouring
of support from the community
of Sherwood Content and Surrounding
areas. The artistes turned out
and so did the dancers and made
the show a fitting tribute to
Usain." - Mario Lazarre Jnr,
CEO No Joke entertainment
The events associated with
the Hart Hill Usain Bolt Homecoming
began on Friday September
19 with Usain Bolt doing a series
of interviews with the international
media Including Bryant Gumbel,
BET and Vibe Magazine. The celebrations
continued on Saturday September
20 with a press conference at
the lush Grand Bahia Principe
Hotel. There was then a fun day
at the Waldensia primary school
hosted by Miss Jamaica 2007 Yendi
Phillips. The fun day saw the
children of Sherwood Content and
surrounding communities being
treated to rides and a kiddie
park. The children also received
school supplies from National
Meats/Hart Hill and were visited
by the big man Usain Bolt before
the end of the treat at 3 pm.
With
the days' activities coming to
an end it was now then time for
the night's event to begin. The
William Knibb High school was
for several days the subject of
heightened activity with preparations
going at full speed. It was then
no surprise when the crowds began
to gather at the William Knibb
play field, that many were awe
struck by the level of preparation
that had gone into the venue.
The No Joke Entertainment production
Team along with the Prosound crew
were on point. The outfield was
lined by National Meats/Hart Hill
Mobile Meal trucks and the back
stage was served with some of
the most decadent treats from
all over the world.
Artistes
lined up to take the stage and
give blessings to Usain Bolt;
the audience's applause reached
a crescendo when Bolt Joined Ice,
Ding Dong and Ravers Clavers in
a dancing frenzy in front of an
appreciative crowd that railed
every step of the way.
Several
artistes then came on stage and
presented what can be considered
one of the best stage shows
Trelawny has ever seen. D'Angel
gave what some believe was her
best performance of the year;
RDX brought added energy to the
tens of thousands gathered. Wayne
Marshall was his perennial best,
Richie Spice was indomitable and
Code Red was a crowd pleaser especially
after taking a swipe at Carl Lewis.
When
Shaggy exited the stage at
2am Sunday morning and MC for
the night and deputy CEO of No
Joke Entertainment Candice Buchanan
called an end to the live activities
of the Hart Hill Usain Bolt Homecoming
celebration there was not much
more that could have been done
musically to celebrate the greatness
of Usain Bolt.

Hart Hill Usain Bolt Homecoming
Concert Set for William Knibb
High School
Thursday,
September 12; Kingston, Jamaica:
The Venue for the Hart Hill Usain
Bolt Homecoming Celebration concert
on September 20, 2008 has been
changed. CEO of National Meats/Hart
Hill, David Philips explains:
"The
venue for the concert has been
changed because the Police
advised us that the original venue
lacked the infrastructure to accommodate
the traffic, parking and crowd
for such a large event".
Preparations
are now on in earnest to ensure
that the new venue, Usain's Alma-Mater
William Knibb High School is ready
for the Hart Hill Usain Bolt Homecoming
Celebration concert.
"The
William Knibb high School was
selected because of several
factors; it is close to the community,
Usain attended the school, it
was where he first rose to local
and international prominence and
the principal of the school has
been fully supportive of the event".
Stated Phillips
On
Tuesday several members of the
community of Sherwood Content
voiced their displeasure at the
relocation of the event but this
initial apprehension was quelled
when the reasoning behind the
decision was explained. Philips
went on further;
"If
I am having a family reunion and
my house is not large enough
to accommodate everyone I would
need to move the venue, but it
would still be my family reunion.
This is the same situation we
are facing with Usain's homecoming.
The new venue could not be more
befitting for a homecoming for
Usain; a native son of Trelawny
and a graduate of the school".
On
Saturday September 20, 2008, all
roads will lead to the William
Knibb High School where the Hart
Hill Usain Bolt Homecoming Celebration
Concert will take place. Members
of the Sherwood content community,
Trelawny and Jamaica as a whole
are ready and in a heightened
state of anticipation for this
landmark event.
National
Meats/ Hart Hill and the community
of Sherwood Content would like
to thank all who have been
supporting this effort at paying
homage to our great son. We are
confident that the Hart Hill Usain
Bolt Homecoming Celebration will
be a fitting celebration of Usain's
great accomplishments.

this special moment with his friends
and family.
"I am very happy to have
the chance to celebrate with
my friends and family in Sherwood

I have not been able to go back
to Sherwood and Lyme with the
people I grew up with so this
will be a grand opportunity to
do so". - Usain Bolt, Jamaican

The Hart Hill Usain Bolt Homecoming

fame for himself with the showcasing
of his dancing skills, which was
shown after each Gold Medal win
at the Bejing Summer Olympics.
This time however the dancing
will be from the likes of Ice,
Ding Dong and Kreggy Dread.
"Artistes
have rearranged there schedules
to be able to attend and we
are getting calls everyday from
more artistes who want to be a
part of this celebration. We are
right on schedule and come September
20 Sherwood Content will be the
place to be". Stated Mario
Lazarre Jr CEO, No Joke Entertainment.
Celebration is the theme and no
one is being excluded; DJ Nick
(formerly DJ Nicholas), known
as the hand-clapping, feet stomping
and body rocking minister is set
to anoint the event on September
20. The roster for the event is
not yet complete however, as the
confirmed acts to join with the
Sherwood massive is growing each
day.
The Hart Hill Usain Bolt Homecoming
Celebration will be a grand affair
and the international media is
already lining up to land in Jamaican
for a close-up intimate meet and
