"lThe Wlhitby Rotary actually got the baIl rolling"l, says County Town Car- nival-Chairman Jack Woodward who has in organizing Whitby's social event of the year, worked 18 hours a day. "We wanted something people would automaticalîy associate with 'N hi t by , something permanent along the 1 nes of the Quebec Wilnter Carnival. As we were still in the thinking stage, the club re- ceived a letter from the Canadian Ci- c ycl1e Association in Toronto. They were approach ing var ious communi ties about holding bicycle rallies in honour ofc a r nival1s and fairs.

Now the scrambles are one of the Iargest held in Southern Ontario drawingpeopîe from as far as the United S tate s. At that particular staoe we thought about adding Yacht Club races, h op i n g the carnival would grow from these kinds of features."I l'in that f i r s t year there were no carnival rides and we had no programs made up,"I he re c al11s. TheQOshawa Times s impl y listed a schedule of events. Then came the soccer and ten- nis tournaments, and in the second year we had a modest program made up. Then w i t h the enthusiastic response ta the pancake breakfast, we had an indication thecarnival was really going to go. So with the end of festivities that year three or four of us called together a meeting withMayor Newman and began to contact ail1 local clubs and organizations so that WEEKEND HORSE SHOWS WHITB3Y - Loyers of horses should flot miss the third annual Meadowcrest Farms Horse Show to be helId dur ing the County Town Carnival Aug. 5 to 7.
