"We're not competing with Main Street in my estimation," Morris said. "Businesses on Main Street will survive and flourish with good management."

There is nothing there that I need." She said items on sale at Main Street locations are "expensive" and added, "You can't get parking." Mrs. McComb said she shops in Salt Lake City. "I think most people feel like I do," she commented. "Tourists do (shop on Main Street) but most full time residents do not." When Lawson reiterated that some of the stores proposed for Holiday Village could be located on Main Street, Morris queries, "Do you wan! to force people onto Main Street?"

The $400 first prize went to team leader Jim Chamberlain of Provo, for the creation of a bigger-than-life golf cart with snoozing Sunday Sun-day afternoon hackers. Creating the sculptures was hot and heavy work evidenced by the piles of empty Coke cups beside each of the 107 sculptures.

Contestants ranged from a six-year-old creating a barely-recognizable Easter rabbit to older folks making explicit recommendations from their beach chairs planted in the snow. "One group has come every year," said Coca-Cola sculpture director Bob Tate. "They consider this the beginning begin-ning of the picnicing season and come with a blanket, chairs, basket, the whole works!"
