Bolt-autographed shoes on his feet, and former champ Lennox Lewis and his wife, Violet, were busy talking about their next great project aimed at making men out of boys.

Salvador Luque, a major shareholder in Secrets Resorts, dropped in to check out the offerings, and Paula and Mark Kerr-Jarrett were talking big business with prospective investors.

Tristan Alvarado was in his ackee, Sharon Feanny wore a fabulous Indian dress, while her husband, Nicky, beamed with pride and answered questions about the Sandals Over-Water Suites that he so lovingly built.

With all the merriment, the 2016 staging of Taste of Tryall was a success, raising well-needed monies to further the work of the Tryall Trust.
