Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The 2015 La Ruta Maya kicked off this morning.  More pictures here.  Video here.  They had a fun Cultural Night at the CWC last night.

The La Ruta Maya Cultural Night was a great success, and the Cayo Welcome Center proved to be the perfect spot for the wonderful event.  Fire spinning and the World Culture Band really made it a great night.

"The Cayo Welcome Center was happening Thursday night for the La Ruta Maya Cultural Night.  They had artists, cultural presentations, music, fire spinning, and the World Culture Band played too.  Thanks, NICH!"

Rotary's District 4250 Conference had their Cultural Night at Cahal Pech.  DJ Caesar was there to provide the music and lights.  They had the Mayan Harp, traditional dances, and wonderful food from Young's Pibil from Lord's Bank that was served in style from SHJC's Tourism students.  Great job, Rotary!

"The Rotary District 4250 Conference's Culture Night at Cahal Pech was a special event.  Joe Awe was the MC.  There was delicious food from Sacred Heart Junior College's Food and Beverage students.  It was a night of food, dance, and great music."

The SISE House of Culture is having their annual LRM Cultural Night this Thursday at the Cayo Welcome Center.  They'll have a special cultural presentation for the event.  The Galen Eagles Band will be performing, as will the Bullet Tree Cultural Dance Group.  It all starts at 7:00pm.

The Cayo Welcome Center was the venue for the Belize Book Industry Assocition's Book Week festivities Friday and Saturday.  The BBIA, along with the San Ignacio Public Library and NICH, made the weekend all about reading. Tons of students came out for the Book Fair, and they got to see storytelling, a map reading quiz, a grafitti competition, a cultural night on Burns avenue, and much more.  Thanks to all involved for getting the younger generation interested in books.

The La Ruta Maya Cultural Night is tomorrow night at the Cayo Welcome Center.  There will be live music from the Galen Eagles Band, a Mayan Rain Dance by Orquidea Negra, and Dr. Jaime Awe will present 'The Old Belize River,' which is all about the fascinating history of the Maya and their use of the rivers of Belize.

"This Year the San Ignacio & Santa Elena House of Culture (NICH) is proud to organize the Cultural Night in Collaboration with Bowen and Bowen.  Working with the Pioneers of the Challenge has been very enlightening with the three founding pillars of the race which are the Environmental, Cultural and Historical value of the Belize River.  Celebrate the 15th Anniversary of the Ruta Maya River Challenge with us on Thursday March 7th, 2013"
