THA Chief Secretary Farley Augustine is comforted by the production displayed by the Charlotteville Heritage Folk Performers during the annual Tobago Heritage Festival.

Charlotteville Natural Treasures Day on July 21 started at Fort Campbelton with a ritual dance and an opening prayer, which was followed by the traditions of the washing of the dead, dancing the cocoa, dirt-oven baking and the saw pit.

Speaking with Newsday at the site, Augustine, who was amidst the procession, said the festivities in Charlotteville is more than a festival event.
