It's my understanding that the entertainment at the squares 365 days a year is partially paid for by the local governments, which comes out of our real estate/sales taxes, etc.
8-10 years ago, the acts that they hired for the squares were not as good, or should I say consistent, than they are today. I remember, back then, sometimes the entertainment would be a disc jockey spinning tunes. I hardly ever see that these days, there is always a musical group with at least three members.
It makes sense for the local govs to "pitch in" since they are an unique attraction for the area. Wife & I don't attend any more, except when any youngins visit.
