The newly refurbished Susupe Beach Park will be officially presented to the public today in an afternoon ceremony that will highlight the park’s use as a performance site and picnic ground.
The re-launch of the renovated Susupe landmark will begin at 2pm with a short program at the stage.
A trio of ukulele performers—Jonelie Torres, Jimin Ryu, and Bryan Cho—from Saipan Community School will kick off the musical program. These 8th grade students have been playing the ukulele for three years now.
They will immediately be followed by the top three winners in the recently held “Best Dance Crew in the CNMI” competition: TNT, Final Extreme, and the eventual winner, I Candy. Tom Pangelinan of I Candy is also expected to give an anti-graffiti message.
The emcee in today’s program will be Ed Arriola.
In October and November this year, Tan Holdings management, through the leadership of Tan Holdings president Jerry Tan, took the initiative to revitalize this serene and intimate park. The team volunteered to paint all concrete areas, remove debris that had accumulated through the years, and work with the appointed contractor, Reliance Construction, in resurfacing and restoring all broken barbecue pits, concrete benches, and concrete tables.
The addition of a new roof for the stage was one of the highlights of this restoration project. The volunteers also took the time to paint the wall and water tanks of the Saipan Community School that face the park.
Now, after 20 years, the community can once again enjoy the outdoor performances that defined the Susupe Beach Park. [B][I](PR)[/I][/B]
