Stan Bishop quoted " ... Also, the Cultural Development Foundation (CDF) may pride itself in doing all it can to develop the Carnival product. But if persistent problems continue to prove otherwise, it may be prudent on the CDF’s part to enlist the services of St. Lucia’s talented minds to assist in that regard ..."

I halfway agree with you, but more than that Stan.

CDF is definitely NOT equipped to promote, push or manage carnival. They show NO IDEA of marketing and promotion (have you seen this year's carnival poster? It SUCKS!!), no idea of accountability (people still waiting for the monies from 2009 and beyond!!), they show NO IDEA of the Administrative BUSINESS of carnival.

Carnival could only become a viable PRODUCT if properly ORGANISED run by people with a sense of business, marketing and accountability.

Thank goodness, we now have a Carnival Bands Association (who have to do battle with the nitwits at CDF).

What is needed now ... is for the Carnival Queen Committee to move away from CDF, and fend for themselves - put together a good Business Plan, get the CBA on board, and other "business" people with new ideas. Then they would not be running around like headless chickens weeks before the slated date of the Queen Show.

NOW .... St Lucia needs a proper NATIONAL CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION - not CDF!!!

CDF should crack down on FATTIES who participate in carnival. It ruins it for all of us.
