Now, I'm a firm believer of where there is smoke, there is a fire so I've done my own investigation seeing as this rumor affects me directly. I was assured that the Miami jouvert that has been held at the Broward Regional Park for the last three years, is still the official site/venue of the jouvert for 2015. In the same breath, it was also said that the option was still on the table but as for now, Lauderhill is the oficial site for jouvert. Wait, what? Which one is it? Sounds more to me like Lauderhill is secured but they're still looking for something bigger, better or possibly cheaper. This late in the game and with the size of crowd expected, things like venue should already be finalized so my confidence is pretty much high for 2015 but I'd look out for 2016. Lauderhill may not be the home for our jouvert for much longer.
If you feel like me and would love to see the jouvert stay where it is in Lauderhill or maybe not, either way you have a voice. Send letters, make phone calls and send emails to voice what you'd like to see happen. People tend to underestimate just how much power they have to make changes.
