Indy actually summarized it pretty well. If you don't pay for it via the amenity fee then residents don't have much influence over it. This especially rings true with events put on by the Entertainment Dept. Now that the Developer has quietly sold the business to Barbara Vesco, things he might have operated at a loss to promote sales, she may not do since it's her bottom line. The Entertainment Dept has never been very forthcoming with future plans on events, acts, etc. They have no website or publicly available email address. Folks who have contacted them by phone don't seem to get very much info either.

This "no more parade" statement may end up being a rumor or half true. Time will tell.
