Emotions ran high when the entertainment community heard that Skinner Park was going to be renovated. While happy that improvements were coming, the thought of not having the space for Carnival was tough. Nostalgia reigned as old memories and unforgettable performances were bandied about; in the end though, one unchangeable conclusion came to the forefront. Before we welcome anything new, we must pay homage to our cultural past. Bearing that in mind, we embrace the sound of our history with Ed Watson and His Brass Circle's "Controversy", as we simultaneously pay tribute to the hallowed ground that will nurture our musical destiny. Precision Productions is calling culture-lovers to come along, as we reminisce our way into the future with the Skinner Park Riddim. Guiding this journey are three artists, who count themselves as quite fortunate to have come through local ranks on their pathway to now being treasured ambassadors of our heritage. And so we begin at the very beginning, with Nadia Batson and her rhapsodic retelling of her first time in "Skinner Park".

I learned how truly very Mormon I really am, to the deepest part of my soul. They took an oath and it is who they are. He want to wait at least one year before he makes any decision he want to take it slow. And there are questions and lessons that dual-faith couples face that zero-faith or single-faith households do not. Drives me a bit crazy.
