Float parade ideal

born last

The Gold Cup and Saucer Pa- rade idea came into being late in December of 1961 when sev- eral prominent business men met in Charlottetown.

The meeting was called be-= cause of a reaction caused by a brief parade — actually no t’ much more than a motorcade--— held during Old Home Week of last summer in connection with The Evening Patriot's Gold Cup and Saucer classic free-fora all race.

Many prominent citizens felt that the motorcade should be expanded into a full - scale pa- rade featurin: floats. band<. clowns. marching units, into. LOOKING TO 1964

They were also looking ahead to the year 1964 when the is- land will spend a delirious 12 months celebrating the 100th anniversary of the meeting in 1964 of the Fathers of Confeder- ation at h i s t o r l c Provincial 1 Building.

It was at this meeting that the groundwork was laid on for the future formation of the Dominion of Canada.

These citizens saw in til i 5 small parade the possibility of creating a great: spectacular by 1964. "With two years of exper- ience under our belts". said one businessman, "there is no rea- son why this parade couldn't develop into a tremendous tour- ist attraction in succeeding years. And by 1.064 we should be able to stage a parade sec- ond to none in Canada".

The idea of a giant float pa- rade was an immediate hit with those gathered for the meeting and after that it began to steam-

roll.

The organizers were looking to a modest beginning wit h possibly 10 floats entered and a: few bands staging a competit- tlon. But the parade has grown to exceed by far all expec-; tattoos and by the time it hits‘ the street on Friday there will ‘ likely be at ‘least two dozen ﬂoats. eight brass and pipe‘ bands ~- three from off the Is- land -— and other assorted units never dreamed off in the begin- nin

g. Bands will get more atten- tion as the parade grows in fu-

tributed wldely through th e Maritimes. eastern U.S. states. Quebec and Ontario and efforts were made to make sure that every visitor to P.E.I. this year received one through the P.E.I. Travel Bureau and its various. branches.
