Mennonites celebrate fifty years in Belize
As parades go it will never be confused with the ones on September tenth or the twenty-first, let alone the big jump up of carnival. But this morning the village of Blue Creek in the Orange Walk district kicked off its celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Mennonites’ arrival in Belize with its own style of parade. Here’s some of the footage, mixed in with the sounds of Blue Creek’s school children doing a great job with the national anthem.

The fiftieth anniversary celebration continues on Saturday with a rodeo and auction. We’ll have a full report next week.
