Default Standard Answer - NO

Give you an example. The Kite Club wanted to fly kites on Sunday afternoons at the wide open Polo Fields. Since Polo Games were not played on Sundays and the facility was not being used, they asked if that was OK. The answer: NO - YOU CAN'T! When the club asked why, the answer was "It might scare the horses!". The club's response: There are no horses there are Sunday. The Villages responded: We said, NO - YOU CAN'T!

A year later the Recreation Department approached the Kite Club and asked if they would help put on a Kite Festival so The Villages could rent space to vendors for the event. Guess where The Villages held the event? Yup, at the Polo Fields!
