Calabash Merchants Plan For Another Active Year BY DORI COStJROVK (Jl RCAM S After a year of promoting busi nesses and services in Brunswick County's southernmost coum.i1 towns, the Calabash Merchants As sociauon has another busy ycai planned. "It went well," said Richard John son of new organization's first year. "We're very pleased with our group." Johnson, who runs a gilt shop in Calabash, is one of the organizers ol the association, the type ol group he says the town hasn't had in "seven or eight years". The CMA now boasts a member ship of 40 contributing merchants, who helped to fund the group with Si I.1 (XX) m ivsM, he said. With those funds. Johnson adds, the CMA was able to complete sev eral projects to help promote a posi live image of Calabash. A sign that urges travelers to "Experience The Real Calabash" was placed along U.S. 17 in Little River, S.C.. by the group of mer chants. It is visible u> motorists heading north from Myrtle Beach. S.C., into North Carolina. Johnson said this was to persuade vacationers to actually come to Calabash for 'Calabash-style' sea food. instead of going to restaurants in other towns advertising such cui sine The CMA also spent S9(X) to place a "Welcome To Calabash" sign, complete with a sandblasted and handpainted shrimp trawler on it, along N.C. 179 near the south end of town. "We warn to bring a positive iden tity back to Calabash," Johnson said of the move to install road signs. ! Ic said he fcils that other nearby tourism sources have taken away M i nc ii c?i the busmess Calabavh dc serves. To further help local merchants promote their business, the CMA es tablished a town welcome center as well, complete with brochures from restaurants and shops, near Marsh Harbour Marina on N.C. 179. The possibility of forming a chamber ot commerce was "looked into" by the association. Johnson said, but he added, "we're not ready lor that. Maybe someday." In the coming year, he said, mem bers look forward to choosing new officers and placing three to four more welcome signs on oilier roads that lead into Calabash. Although the CMA is "somewhat inactive" during this time of year by Johnson's estimations, he expects the group to begin holding meetings again by Marvh in time for the tourism season. At that time, they will look into the feasibility of organizing a town festival to promote the crafts anil foods that Calabash has to offer va cationers. "It takes time," Johnson said of ihr? pm a's to promote the town and organize themselves. "We have to continue to support one an other in order to support the town." Johnson invites interested Cala bash business owners to call him during the day at 579-7075. Stute-Ci lurtefeu Banks Sold Healthy At Close Of 1 990 North Carolina state-chartcred banks, with few exceptions, arc in "very good health," according to state's Commissioner ol Banks Will iam T. Graham. In the Banking Commission's 1990 report, issued Oct. 30. 1991, Graham said he expected 1991 to be a year of continued bank growth, with asset and deposit totals expect ed to again go up substantially, in part by absorption of a portion of the thrift industry as well as by normal growth. The annual report provides finan cial information about the condition of state-chartered banks in 1990 and compiles in one source data about those 63 banks and their 1.178 of fices.
