“I had a meeting I think about a month or so ago with the Carnival Association, representatives of the Carnival Association, where we discussed the fiftieth anniversary. We think it’s a wonderful opportunity for us to do something big this year along with them and the National Celebrations Commission. So we want to make that a special focus for this year’s celebration of fifty years of Carnival. And  you know, I think it’s a very good opportunity for us to celebrate culture and celebrate the Carnival Association and the work that they are doing. So we’re excited about that.”
