What would it cost you to live in TV without the snowbirds paying their share all year?
Please don’t assume that all frogs (here ‘til we croak) feel that way about snowbirds. What you say about what they contribute is true. Sure, we don’t like the extra traffic and having to make reservations in restaurants again or the extra people on the golf course or pickleball court. However, I play music in a lot of jams every week, and during this part of the year attendance is down about fifty percent. I know that my fellow jammers and I are looking forward to having our friends and fellow musicians rejoin us. We also look forward to the rest of our weekly audiences returning. Welcome Home, Snowbirds!
