Today, at three different times, our radio station advertised The St. Patrick's Day Parade at Spanish Springs Town Square. Unfortunately, all three times they stated that the parade would start at 4:45 pm, not at 3:30, (which was the correct time). Stupidly, I fell for it, and doubted myself thinking it was at 3:30. My husband and I got there at 4:40, and the parade was over. Obviously they were trying to show that not many people were interested in the parade. Then what really got me angry, was a saw a women with a professional camcorder, taping a man, holding a mike. He was using all the people behind and around him, to make a video of the wonderful activities that The Villages offers. If they don't want us having parades, then why do they have the nerve to use those videos as PR to get people to move here? I had all to do to control myself from grabbing the mike and stating that it was all a lie. I love it here in The Villages, but hate that they're misleading people. Trish.
