The merchants are very aware because they pay for the entertainment. The stores all pay into an entertainment fund which covers that expense, it's not our of our pocket or TV's.

I was wondering if there was a web site or how to contact the powers to be who have the say on the entertainment at the squares. I was also wondering how they determine how much $$$ the different acts make.
You may have caught an act 'The Paul Vesco Band' or one of his many other lineups. Usually a Paul Vesco act is at the one of the squares every week because his wife Barbara Vesco is the director of entertainment for the squares. That's who determines who plays and how much they are paid.
