With 40 calypsonians performing at the Trinbago Unified Calypsonians' Organisation's (TUCO) Calypso Fiesta, Skinner Park, San Fernando, on February 22, patrons had a long evening of entertainment from the artistes as well as creating some of their own amusement among the various posses and friends.

Among the usual elements at the fiesta, the "standard" toilet paper and even paper towel roll greeting of disapproval, signs saying, "Next," "Judges Go Like Dat," and "Kaiso Kaiso," all added to the fare of the "Park" experience which can be joyful for some but painful to others, including some of the artistes who did not make it to the finals of the Calypso Monarch competition on March 2 at the Queen's Park Savannah, of Spain.

Here are some highlights.

Patrons came prepared to wave toilet paper and signs for their least favourite calypso.
