                   CORRECTION

                                           In yesterday’s Aruba Today’s article ‘Creating Legends’ on page 13, there were
                                           some inadvertent text errors.

                                           Under paragraph ‘Special(s)’ at the end the text states ‘Beers are only 1$ at that
                                           time’. That should have been: ‘$1.00 off Beers and Drinks.’ In the last sentences of
                                           the article it is written: ‘Shot Skies’, but the correct word is ‘Shot Skis’.

                                           We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.q
