Staff Of WBTV WBTYV To Celebrate Charlotte-In mid-July, WBTV will have been on the air for 35 years! The theme of the celebration of this aniversary is ‘““Sakes Alive, We're Thirty-Five!” Beginning the latter part of June, 90-second vignettes will be seen on WBTYV, recalling what people were doing and experien- cing during the summer of 1949. What, kind of cars they were buying, styles they were wear- ing, vacations they were taking. From July 7th through July 13th, viewers will have a chance to enter a trivia contest. Five questions will be asked throughout each broadcast day about programs and people that are part of WBTV’s history. Viewers will see a number to call with the correct answer, and the third caller with the correct answer will receive a prize. Starting July 9th and continu- ing through July 14th, Diana Williams will present a six-part series entitled “Summer of 49,” which will be seen on WBTV’s 6 o’clock news. She’ll feature the big local news stories of that year, including de-segregation, a polio epidemic, an auditorium£oliseum project for Charlotte, and the new Freedom Park, built in honor of World War II veterans. The celebration will culminate in a grand and glorious birthday party at Freedom Park on Satur- day, July 14th from 2:00 til 9:30. p.m. There'll be wandering entertainers, mimes, jugglers, clowns, balloons, and exciting give-aways such as helicopter tours of Charlotte, lunch with favorite WBTV personalities in the Jefferson-Pilot commissary, tickets to the World Seniors Golf Tournament, birthday parties, and tickets to the ACC Tourna- ment. There’ll be an historical display, an Extravision display, the WBTV Dream Homes at Selwyn Farms display. There’ll be break-dancing, and three bands—the 16-piece Alumni Note band from 4:00 til 5:30 p.m.; Bo’s Bluegrass band from 6:00 til 7:30 p.m.; and the popular Skip ‘Castro band from 8:00 til 9:30 p.m. WBTYV is inviting the public to join the “Sakes Alive, We're Thirty-Five!” celebration.
