Charlotte's Carrousel They built a big event around a football game in the queen eity; half a million people expected to see the parades. The South Carolina-NVakc Forest football game is now "The Carrousel Bowl" in Charlotte on November 26, 1953, at 2:00 p.m. as a part of the giant Carolines' Carrousel. Early in 1947 a group of Charlotte men sal around a luncheon table and someone said, "Let's organize an event for Charlotte, and invite our neighbors to participate. Let us stage the event and when it’s all over, we will clean the dishes. For once, let's ask them into Charlotte and not ask them to buy." Thus the Carolinas' Carrousel was born, which is today the South's largest attraction as far as parades arc concerned, with over 550.000 in attendance last year. The event this year will be staged on Thanksgiving Day, after some thirty-five princesses, and many celeb¬ rities including a Hollywood star join in preliminary arrangements of the Wednesday before. This year the Hcgcman (100 strong) Siring Band, winner of first prize ($20,000) in the 1953 Mum¬ mers Parade in Philadelphia, will lead the giant four-mile all-decorated pa¬ rade at 5:30 p.m. Costumes, plumed head-pieces reach eight feet above the heads of the String Band group whose uniforms arc valued at $160,000. The event invites thirty-five high school seniors from nearby cities to participate in the contest of Queen Carrousel. No Charlotte girls com¬ pete. The young Queen will be royally entertained and honored at the Knights of Carrousel affair on Wednes¬ day night before. The one hundred Knights making up the group arc staging their record annual affair; a giant coronation all in medieval cos¬ tumes; a King, court and jesters will high-light the occasion. Each Knight will be tapped at the event; the King and Queen will be crowned; an elabo¬ rate medieval day buffet will be served at intermission. The affair is strictly by invitation subscription. One promi¬ nent North Carolinian and one promi¬ nent South Carolinian will be made Honorary Dukes at the affair. The pageant parade will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. No¬ vember 26. over a 40-block lighted white-way, over 140 units will make up the ten-division, all-dccoratcd parade. THAT S. C. TREND From 60 to 80 per cent of the travel business in the Nags Head re¬ gion comes from the Washington area. Quite a chunk of it conics from mid- Virginia. The rest is scattered all around. Hardly anybody comes to Nags Head from the territory west and south of Raleigh. This is easy to understand. It is a long way to the northeast beaches from Piedmont North Carolina — about a 6-liour drive from Raleigh, for example. Alas, I only wish that our mid- coast and southeastern beaches were getting that patronage.
