March 8, 2002 – St. Patrick's Day – Sunday, March 17 – is, appropriately, the day of UVI's Afternoon on the Green. The main theme, however, is "UVI at 40 … celebrating the red, white and blue," which honors men and women in uniform.
Head for the "Green," the Herman E. Moore Golf Course on the St. Thomas campus of the University of the Virgin Islands, from noon to 5 p.m. and enjoy taste, smell, sound and sight of Virgin Islands culture. There'll be music by the Sea Breeze Band, the regular culinary competitions, and activities and St. Thomas Dairies ice cream to keep the children occupied.
Admission is free. Top territory cooks will provide favorite recipes (if they're not secret) and cooked dishes and, after the judging is done, food and drink will be available for $2 a sample. Cooks should bring their dishes for judging by 11 a.m.
