SKNNCC Containers and Revenues Release

After investing in several Containers in 2016, the St. Kitts Nevis National Carnival Committee (SKNNCC) continues to reap benefits from procuring said Assets. The 20-foot and 40-foot Containers were first used for Sugar Mas 45 and again, for Sugar Mas 46, at the Circus. Vendors were able to operate their Carnival Bars/Booths from said Containers. This Model provided multiple benefits. First, is that of safety and security. Each Vendor provided his/her door locks, thus they were able to better protect their inventory and equipment. Secondly, the standardized appearance of the Booths and the surroundings added more pleasing aesthetics to the Carnival Village. Further, Vendors were able to save money as they no longer had to rent transportation to deliver their inventory and equipment to and from the Vending Spots twice per day. Additional savings were accrued also from them not having to rent Tents to provide shelter for their operations. Yet another benefit was the relief Vendors gleaned from not having to pack up and break down their operation daily.
