With the resumption of Carnival festivities across the Caribbean region, Beep joined with the National Cultural Foundation (NCF) to sponsor a series of Crop Over events in Barbados, the first Crop Over events to take place since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Barbados in 2020. These events commenced with the NCF Sweet Limes events, 8 limes held on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in June and July at various bars across the island. Beep Liquid Hand Sanitizer stations were present at each event to remind persons that while the festival season has resumed, we still need to stay safe.

July 2 marked the official launch of the Crop Over season during the Ceremonial Delivery of the Last Canes at the Portvale Sugar Factory, St. James. Barbadians were treated to cultural arts and crafts

Beep, which consists of liquid hand sanitizers, disinfectant sprays, air fresheners and dishwashing liquids, was also present at the Scotiabank Junior Monarch Finals on July 16. Young calypsonians and soca artists took to the stage at the Wildey Gymnasium to showcase their talent and love for the music of the festival. As they entered the Gymnasium, members of the audience received the Beep Travel Size Disinfectant Spray from the Beep promotional team. Patrons were reminded of the benefits of the Travel Size Disinfectant Spray, that can easily travel with them in their bags or even pockets, and can be used to disinfect high touch areas such as food counters and even bathrooms stalls while at parties during the Crop Over Season.

Samples of the Travel Size Disinfectant Spray were also distributed at the Republic Bank Pandemonium on July 24, held at the National Botanical Gardens, where patrons were treated to performances by local steel pan groups such as the BCC Pan Ensemble and the National Steel Orchestra, as well as local Soca artistes including Nikita, Biggie Irie and Lil Rick. Beep branded cups were also distributed to the event attendees as they entered the National Botanical Gardens on Sunday.

Pic-o-de-Crop, held on July 29 at the Kensington Oval, presented another opportunity for persons to learn more about the Beep Travel Size Disinfectant Spray as they entered the 3W’s main gate at the Oval. More commonly known for holding International Cricket matches, the Oval came alive with the sounds of Calypso as the Pic-o-de-Crop finalists took to the stage. The Beep promotional team was stationed at the entrance to the event to distribute the Travel Size Disinfectant Spray, along with branded Beep cups, to the patrons. They were also reminded to sanitize their hands using the Beep Liquid Hand Sanitizer dispensers stationed at the entrances and throughout the Kensington Oval.

Kensington Oval was alive again on Sunday, July 31, this time with the sounds of Soca, as Soca Rukshun commenced. Barbadian Soca artistes including Nikita, Krosfyah and Mole treated the spectators to some of their best songs produced for the 2022 Crop Over season. Beep Liquid Hand Sanitizer stations were located at the entrances and throughout the Oval, for persons to sanitize their hands and keep germs and viruses at bay.

The Crop Over season culminated in an array of colour and movement at Grand Kadooment on August 1st, the first of its kind since August 2019. At the end of this spectacular occasion, the jumpers and spectators were treated to performances by local Soca artists at the National Botanical Gardens. Jumpers were reminded to sanitize using the Beep Liquid Hand Sanitizer stations placed at the entrance to the National Botanical Gardens, as well as at the food stalls.

Week 5 of the Beep Dishwashing Liquid Rinse & Shine Challenge culminated in Barbados on July 22nd, 2017, hosted by Brand Manager with Hanschell Inniss Ltd., Randy Marshall.  The final round of competition of the Beep Dishwashing Liquid Rinse & Shine Challenge series took place at the Hanschell Inniss Sales Centre, Fontabelle.  The contest was judged at this location by special Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge inspectors, Keisha Crichlow, and a Sales Representative of Hanschell Inniss Ltd.  

Contestants in the final round pulling their numbers to determine which teams will face off first. Here, Deidre holds the Beep Power Card which gave her the choice to compete against any team of her choice.

In round 1, Donna and Carlo – winners from Round 2 faced Claudine and Randolph – winners from Round 1 to wash the most of 100 dishes in 100 seconds.  After the clock stopped, the clean plates for each team were tallied by that day’s special Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge inspectors.  Donna and Carlo took the top spot for round 1 washing 15 plates versus 12 plates by Claudine and Randolph. Despite not making it through to the challenge round, Claudine and Randolph instead went home as a team with a $100 voucher for free groceries from the Hanschell Inniss Sales Centre – compliments of Hanschell Inniss Ltd. and McBride Caribbean Ltd., owner of the Beep brand. 

Next, team Cathy and Vasco stepped up to the sink in round 2 to wash against Antoinette and Deidre.  After 100 seconds, the special Rinse & Shine inspectors tallied the clean plates in favour of Antoinette and Deidre who together washed 25 dishes over Cathy and Vasco’s 16.  For their efforts, Cathy and Vasco went away as a team with a $100 voucher for free groceries from the Hanschell Inniss Sales Centre compliments of Hanschell Inniss Ltd. and McBride Caribbean Ltd.

Antoinette and Deidre stepped up to the Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge game sink at the start of the lightning round to battle against round 1’s Donna and Carlo.  Randy started the round off and just as both teams readied themselves to give this round their all, Randy jumped in with a surprise.  The Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge special inspectors were invited to the game sink to bound the team mates together at the wrist.  After the initial shock, the contestants regrouped and gave everything they had to clean as many of the 100 plates as they could in 100 seconds.  Randy counted down with the audience to the final 10 seconds on the clock, “…3, 2, 1! Beep! Beep! Beep!”  As the team members stepped away from the game sink, the Beep Rinse & Shine Challenge special inspectors came to conduct their inspection.
