Information officer for The Dominica Export Import Agency (DEXIA), Ayeola George, has reported that the second edition of the Strictly Local Christmas Village was a resounding success.
The event, which began on Wednesday, December 18, 2019 and ended on December 20, 2019, featured a number of local vendors selling a wide variety of locally made products and included a health and wellness section, craft, paintings and manufactured products. George said overall, DEXIA received positive feedback as most vendors had great sales and many of them are willing to return next year. According to George, although some vendors’ items were sold out and even went out of stock, and although others did not do as well, it could have just been a matter of persons’ preferences at this particular juncture in terms of what items they wanted to buy for themselves, and for their families. As you know, we are promoting it as an event where persons can come and purchase gifts for the holiday season. Despite the unfortunate shortcomings, she stated that DEXIA did meet the goal of impacting the bottom line of producers & giving participants the opportunity of ending the year on a good note, financially. The Information officer for DEXIA, added that the entertainment items such as live paintings, poetry and the fashion show, were a hit.
