The 2016 CNMI Liberation Day committee said they are open to suggestions and is encouraging the community to submit any of their ideas in order to improve ways on how the annual festival is celebrated.<\/p>\n
Liberation Day committee chair Christopher Leon Guerrero and Skywalker Communications Group account director Sophia Alvarez said all proposals will be discussed by the group before making a decision on what program ideas could be used either for this year\u2019s celebration or the next.<\/p>\n
Skywalker is again partnering with the Saipan Mayor\u2019s Office in this year\u2019s Liberation Day activities. They had already launched the slogan contest and applications are still available for candidates for the 2016 Royal Court.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a community event, so we want to involve the community in the planning process. I\u2019m sure new ideas would come up that could make a difference in the way we celebrate, that\u2019s why we are encouraging the people to participate,\u201d said Leon Guerrero.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re taking in proposals in advance and everything will be discussed by the committee. All programs and events are being planned. We have to top last year\u2019s celebration\u201d added Alvarez.<\/p>\n
The committee said that they are just a small think tank but they wanted to make this year\u2019s festivities another memorable one to all. The kick off of the month-long Liberation Day celebration is on June 10, and festivities will last until July 9.<\/p>\n
Saipan Mayor\u2019s Office special assistant Henry Hofschneider said that plans of bringing back the Liberation Day carnival are up for discussion.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing is final yet but we\u2019re already reaching out to the vendors. We want to have a festive mood and more activities for the people to enjoy. We must all work together for another successful Liberation Day celebration,\u201d Hofschneider added.<\/p>\n
Leon Guerrero said advanced planning also helps the committee, giving them ample time to make any adjustments on the events lined up for the celebration.<\/p>\n
Applications for the float parade are also now available at the Mayor\u2019s Office. The float must reflect the theme on the survivors\u2019 way of life after the war. More details will be discussed and released by the committee in the coming days.<\/p>\n
