PHILIPSBURG:--- Chippie has pledged its support in the amount of $1,000 towards the MOMs group, which is organizing participation in the Children's carnival parade with its Nemo and Friends Children's Float. The float is the initiative of a group of mothers that recall the presence of floats in the carnival parades while growing up. For the 45 anniversary of St. Maarten Carnival this group of parents has decided to make a difference and bring back the decorated floats to the Children's parade, with their float themed: Nemo and Friends. "We are very pleased to be able to support these ladies in their endeavor to bring back a staple which has disappeared over the years in St. Maarten Carnival and we commend them for choosing the 45th anniversary celebration to bring the traditional float back to carnival," says UTS Marketing & Communication Officer, Ivy Lambert. "Floats are a much-loved part of carnival parades for children and adults alike and we are proud to be able to do our part in bringing a wholesome and beautiful attraction to the children's parade. On behalf of Chippie, UTS and CaribServe we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable children's parade and carnival season," Lambert continued. Contrary to other years, the Children's Parade will be held on Wednesday, April 30, 2014, simultaneously with the Grand carnival parade for adults.
