Same goes for the "cruise out" every month after the trophies are awarded. She stopped that too and it was the highlight of the monthly Cruise-In.

Sounds to me like a festival boycott may be in the making because there are many clubs that gear up every year to show off their talents in parades in The Villages. Now they have no reason to exist.

Good job, POA, good job!

Sounds like the Vesco team needs to learn the value of PR. They may have a lock on the entertainment, but 5 years to the buildout is a long time and bad PR can translate to poor sales. I suspect the Morse team will be keeping an eye on things in the interim.
