A side note: The ‘Awujor’ event, scheduled for Saturday from 12:30 PM to 5:30 PM, was unexpectedly shut down by park authorities around 2:30 PM due to an oversized crowd, estimated to be over a thousand attendees. While that was disappointing, the Dinner & Dance later that evening turned out to be an incredible experience! It truly made up for the earlier setback, leaving everyone buzzing with excitement! The big night ended up being the perfect celebration😄
