40 YEARS OF ROYALITY.

PHILIPSBURG - St. Maarten's Carnival will be experiencing for the very first time ever a Queen of Queens Show entitled 40 Years of Royalty. Imagine the grandeur of Carnival royalty at its best taking center stage at the St. Maarten Festival Village on Saturday, April 18th 2009 which kicks off promptly at 8pm.
This show will be a portrayal of ladies showcasing the best of the best in Class, Poise, Beauty, Grace, Intelligence and Splendour, who have all matured since their life-changing crowning throughout the years of carnival pageantry. We will have the privilege in experiencing more than fifteen (15) women who were once crowned Senior Carnival Queen over the past 40 years on stage on the same evening. These ladies will make an appearance in cultural wear, talent, evening wear, creative wear or carnival costume displaying to all patrons what it means to be a true queen.
The Coordinator of the Sub-Committee of the St. Maarten Carnival Development
Foundation, Mrs. Rhonda Fowler-Smith is extremely pleased with the interest of the participants and the enthusiasm of the general public for and of this once in a lifetime event.
This project was birthed during the organization of the 2008 carnival activities and when discussed it was decided that it would suit best for the 40th carnival anniversary.
The sub-committee and the young ladies are still having some difficulties in acquiring sponsorship to cover show expenses and various wears for the event. However, Mrs.Fowler-Smith is humbly requesting businesses to please support and contribute financially.
The sub-committee of the SCDF and these young ladies are contributing to our St. Maarten's culture and 40th Carnival Anniversary by putting their finest forward to make sure that the public experiences a great show, which will be a once in a life-time experience to
witness. "If we work together, St. Maarten wins and so will many other generations still yet to come."
