There may be more, but that's all I could confirm. That's 10 gigs in December. Vesco has still other entertainment associates that perform in The Villages, but not this month.
These are all excellent entertainers. But, if you are missing some of your favorites from the past, or would like to see some new entertainers, I think the Paul Vesco influence explains why you are not.
Barbara Vesco has been head of The Villages Entertainment for a long time. She married Paul Vesco a few years ago. And, now we are seeing his associates in seemingly increasing numbers. Somehow, that just doesn't seem ethical to me.
I don't think his influence is conducive to a "free market."
