Amenity fees may not pay for the entertainment but we Villagers do pay for all the upkeep of the squares. We are on the hook to replace the windmills and water towers, etc. that need repair. We don’t charge rent to the county or the store owners so they are getting a free venue and that is a great bargain.The cost of maintaining these town squares comes out of our amenity fees. It is like a neighborhood group holding a party every week at your house and they pay for the entertainment but you have to clean up, check for damage to your home, pay the mortgage, taxes, electricity, etc., etc., etc. We Villagers pay the lion share of the cost to put on nightly entertainment in the town squares.
