Remember, this was not a Villages sponsored event. This was put on by a private promoter that rented the polo grounds for the event. If this event is repeated, I'm sure the Public Safety and the powers that be will require a much more substantial action plan for it be be approved.
Many issues, including a severe lack of porta potties, unprepared food and beverage vendors and disorganized traffic and parking control. The promoters had also advertised a ban on outside food and drink that was widely ignored by many coming into the event, it seemed the only important thing at the gate was to collect the cash. I'm sure if this event were to happen again, they are more than a few lessons learned that will need to be implimented.
