As far as parades being bad for trafic, well, that's tough cookies. Parades bring a lot of business to the merchants around the square and without successful merchants, the squares would not be the attraction that they are. Like it or not, it's part of the Villages lifestyle.

One choice should have been as follows: I seldom go to the parades anymore, but I'm glad they have them. That's what I would vote for.
The poll is biased!

I agree & voted the same way. We've been here 12 1/2/ years. I personally have seen enough parades. However, lots of other people love them & we have so many more newbies that will be moving to the Villages and they are good for our businesses. Everyone makes money !
