Beyond Expectations
The excitement gener
ated by the spectacular
Carnival Feld in St. Tho
mas from August 31 to
September 2 has not quite
died down. Although it ran
int oserious competition
from torrential rainfall,
t h e community celebra
tions went over in a big
way, to the delight of the
entire populace and hun
dreds of visitors who turn
ed out for the events.
Everyone who had any
thing to do with formul:t
ing the plans and execut
ing th-m deserve to be
congratulated for doing a
good job. Community par
ticipation wes wholeheart
ed and enthusiastic.
Here was real democracy
in action. This was a truly
communify program, with
every segment of the po
pulace represented anu
giving the carnival every
thing it had. Such cooper-j
ation and teamwork was
unprecedented in the is
lands. - |
From the standpoint of
attracting business to the
island the carnival exceed-i
ed expectations and indi
cated the tremendous pos
gibilities that lie ahead.
Hotels, store s, restaurants,
taxicabs and other busi
nesses reaped substantial
benefits.
The community already
has its sight set on the
next earnival which will
dwarf the first in every
respect. To be held during
the tourist season and well
üblicized throughout the
%nited States, this event
should azttract a throng of
visitors, and give the com
munity andourguests
something special to look
lforward to each year.
