PHILIPSBURG--The persons responsible for starting the Carnival Village some 46 years ago were honoured by Government during a ceremony on Friday.

Minister of Culture Silveria Jacobs gave inspiring words to family members about eight persons who opened the first booths in the Carnival Village. The man who spearheaded a fact-finding mission to St. Thomas was Jocelyn Arndell to find out how the booths were erected on that island during its Carnival season.
