We are aiming for the entire site to be ready for action by this Saturday.

These are the words of the Hibiscus Event Group's Dhansukh Lal Bhikha who adds they have a planned rehearsal for lighting and sound equipment next week while all the contestants for the Miss South Pacific Pageant 2009 are expected to be in the country by next Friday.

Bhika said set up at the grounds has begun, food stalls are in place and the carnival ride operators will begin their set up later in the week.

He adds the Suva City Council is also gearing up for its "Clean Up" campaign to have Suva clean, green and beautiful by the time all the contestants arrive.
