It's going to be a great day and I've already prayed for good weather. I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the time with friends and family.”Alongside the Minister at a press conference this afternoon, Premier Paula Cox encouraged the public to come out and enjoy the festivities.“We're hopeful the weather will hold out,” she said. “It's always a nice time to celebrate Bermuda and Bermudians and I know so much work has work has gone into the majorettes, the bands and the floats.
