THE three-day Assou Square event brought out hundreds of patrons earlier this week. However, what was previously billed as a fun event in years past has turned out to be a mixed bag for many who either found the fun or found it lacking in many respects.

Even better, the reality comes to life through a fortuitous moment when one discovers a creative talent that remained latent.
