CHARLOTTE, N.C.—The gang from Six Flags Over Georgia will be in Charlotte again next month for the Southern Living Show at the Merchandise Mart. H. R. Pufnstuf, the Bear and one of the Six Flags bands will be officially a part of the Six Flags booth in the show's travel section. They may be found, however, strolling through the landscaped gardens or watching the Blue Ridge Hearthside craftsmen at work, all the while chatting with the younger show visitors. “Resort areas are stepping up recreational activities and offering excellent facilities, more than ever since so much leisure time is available to Americans now,’ commented Robert Zimmerman, Southern Living Show director. “Our Travel Pavilion includes for the first time this year exhibits from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia as well as from Georgia and North Carolina.” The Southern Living Snow runs Feb. 26 through March 5 and is sponsored by the Charlotte Observer and Souther Living Magazine. The Maryland Divison of Tourism, said Peter Chambliss, who is in charge of the Maryland exhibit, wants to attract people to the Chesapeake Bay area. “Annapolis is a major tourist attraction in this area. It’s like Williamsburg only a living city, full of historic interest. We'll have information on tours around the Bay and surrounding towns and on sailing, boating and all water oriented activities. Also available will be brochures on resorts in Western and Souther Maryland. The Pennsylvania Dept. of Commerce plans to cover tourism throughout that state with emphasis on outdoor recreation in the Pocono Mountains and Laurel Highlands resort areas, the historical significance of Gettysburg and the scenic beauty of the Pennsylvania Dutch country. Tour information for Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown, Va. will be provided by the Williamsburg- James City County Chamber of Commerce. Pictures and brochures will be available on this area which is so rich in history and beauty, said Val Wasson, managing director of the chamber. The North Carolina recreational areas in the Travel Pavilion will include booths for Carolina Caribbean Corp., Connestee Falls, Sapphire Valley and Green Mountain Park. Carolina Caribbean will show movies and slides of its Beech Mountain resort with the Land of Oz and ski slopes, its Land Harbors area, a 65- acre camping ground and its condominium development at St. Croix, Virgin Islands. Green Mountain Park at Lenoir is 1500 acres of virgin mountain woodland where camping sites range from the luxurious to the primitive. Strictly a recreational park, Green Mountain boasts supervised crafts for all ages at its Red Barn Lodge, a heated swimming pool, nature trails, Honda trials, horseback riding and fishing in 10 lakes. A new resort area in the Blue Ridge Mountains that just began to be advertised three months ago will be represented with a booth. Connestee Falls, 6 miles south of Brevard, will have year-round activities. A free plane ride will be offered to anyone wishing to look over the site. Sapphire Valley is a two year old project which is becoming known for its second home condominiums. It is a four - seasons resort with fishing, tennis, skiing and a championship golf course and is located 60 miles southwest of Asheville. “We feel the travel pavilion ROBIN HOOD TOP Riding through the glen. That's Robin Hood. It’s also a new look from Paris. So if you want to look like one of Robin Hood’s men, try a deep sea green wool jersey tunic top. The tunic features extended shoulders, big armholes and is gathered at the waist by a matching belt. The pants are narrow and cuffed. You can even get a pocketbook that looks like a quiver to carry your arrows. And if you want to carry the look all the way through there’s always a Robin Hood hat will be of much interest and help to show visitors, Zimmerman remarked. “It’s a great opportunity to plan the family vacation or a weekend trip with people who know the areas first-hand.”’ Show hours are 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays. Advance tickets are available from the Southen Living Show office in the Merchandise Mart; adults in advance $2.00 each, students 12 to 19 $1.00 and children under 12 are admitted free with an adult. Now in its 12th year, the Southern Living Show offers 16 landscaped gardens, including a full-size swimming pool this year; room settings; fashion shows; crafts; horticulture; a complete flower show section; cooking clinics; wall covering clinics; mobile home living; a children’s theatre. There’s something for every member of the family to enjoy.
