Sunset Homes, a Property Development firm in Anguilla, sponsored its fifth annual event of this kind on its office grounds located in Stoney Ground. Races for each age category included a hula hoop competition, basketball, sack race, lime and spoon race, flat races and the grand finale - the tug-of-war contest which attracted scores of impromptu parent participants from among the spectators.

This event comes out of an active cooperation within the community, reminiscent of traditional communal activities, where villagers come together to work on select projects. Members of the community along with the children in the area prepare for this event. Leading up to the event, the children’s role is to assist in the preparation of the field and to spread the word about the event among their friends.
