The outstanding success of Carnival 2011 was celebrated at Limassol Town Hall recently with the book launch of Karnavali 2011 (Carnival 2011). The beautifully illustrated photographic record of the `biggest and best ever` Limassol carnival has just been published by Limassol company, Menos Publishers priced at 30 euro.
The hard back, full colour record of the outstanding floats, choirs and `teams` of participants who took part in this years celebration, are now recorded historically for the first time ever in this special, limited edition book.
Riccos Evaggelou, the creator and publisher of the book said “I had thought about doing this book for a long time: I went to see the Mayor and thanks to his support, decided to go ahead with it. It is a historic record of the Carnival, something that has never been done before.”
Mayor Andreas Christou officiated at the launch which was held with a combined awards presentation for all the attending teams of float organisers and participants who had taken part in the Grand Parade during Carnival week. More than 150 people congregated in the conference room of the Town Hall to receive their plaques in the ceremony led by Carnival organiser Kleon Alexandrou and Christou. The mayor spoke about the 2011 Carnival as “the most successful carnival yet, something that thousands of locals and visitors have expressed to me and the organisation team behind the event.” He thanked all the participants who were receiving their awards for their “great support and contribution.”
He added that with the book now out on release, all those who took part would be able to see their efforts rewarded. He went on to say that he hoped with the publication of this Carnival 2011, every future carnival would also be recorded in the same way.
Carnival 2011 is available from Menos publishers on: 25 367912
