Togbui Ahiamadowu Godome lll, the CPC Chairman of the festival, said the successes chalked in previous celebrations were expected to be the pillar on which this year’s festival would hinge.
This year’s celebration is on the theme: “Empowering and Awakening the Natives of Avenor to take Responsibility towards the Development of Avenor land.”
Togbui Ahiamadorwu also called on all sons and daughters to rally behind the Traditional Council in using the festival, which would be climaxed with a grand durbar on Saturday, November 26, to bring development to the area.
