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

the article it is written: ‘Shot Skies’, but the correct word is ‘Shot Skis’.
We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.q
