That begs the question, who pays for the bands at Sawgrass? The merchants pay at the squares. Are the merchants paying at sawgrass? The bands that draw the biggest crowds at the squares demand a higher appearance fee. It’s doubtful the few merchants at the smaller venue of Sawgrass can foot that bill? You don’t see the Hooligans at Edna’s or Tierra Del Sol.
