If we have 100,000 folks that live here and an additional 1/4 million in the close by areas surrounding us, then using those figures to have the majority participate in the parade or watching such, that would be approximately 175,000 in attendance to be at or more than 51%. If not, then the majority have spoken and democracy wins again.
As long as we can celebrate as groups someplace in The Villages, then we are being fairly treated (in my opinion). I would also venture to guess that for everyone that likes to see the streets blocked off for a parade, there are more that find it as an inconvenience.
