Charlie Town sp’i/ls all,

City Carnival tobe touristb‘ait?

By Sharon Leighton

Charlie Town is on his way! \

On January 13, Charlotte- town Winter Carnival Com- mittee Director Gus MacFarlane unveiled the schedule of events for the first carnival in what he, and the Committee, hope will become a proud tradition for Charlottetown.

The motive of the found- ing of a Winter Carnival is admittedly mercenary. When

the Carnival has become established, perhaps tourists will come to Charlottetown in winter as well as summer.

In view of this. the Com— mittee has had no difficulty enlisting as sponsors such businesses as Coca Cola Ltd., Burger King Restaurants, Henderson & Cudmore Ltd., and all the major hotels and motels in the Charlottetown

‘area.

Businesses not dealing directly in the tourist trade

have also sponsored the carnival, either in the hope of stimulating the economy or with the desire to create a happy event in Charlottetown, thus earning the goodwill of Islanders.

The 1984 Charlottetown Winter Carnival is not expected to attract tourists. This year, the Carnival is for us — the people who have chosen to spend the entire winter wading through Island snowdrifts.
