The Canyon Country River Riv-er Marathon Association met Tuesday night at the Desert Ramada Inn in Moab for their monthly meeting and determined the date for the Cruise would be Memorial Day wecknd. This weekend in 1970 Memorial Me-morial Day will not occur on May 30 as in the past. It has been changed to the last Monday in the month, which is May 25. It is hoped hop-ed this weekend will have fewer conflicts than last and that attendance at the event will be greater. Also discussed by the committee com-mittee was the possibility of finding a commercial sponsor spon-sor as this is the way many large successful races are conducted in the East. Dixie Barker said she had talked with Bill Sidwell of Salt Lake City, Chevron Oil representative represen-tative for this region and he indicated the company may be interested. The . committee commit-tee formed plans to produce a prospectus on the Cruise and Marathon to present to potential sponsors. |
