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.

I too, was very, disappointed, every time I heard mention of the activities scheduled at Spanish Springs in Celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Why did the radio station not mention the parade at 3:30 as one of the many activities for the day. It makes me feel like we are being controlled.
Don't get me wrong, I love and respect many of The Villages rules, but to not allow any mention of an event as large a the St Patricks Day Parade seems like Censorship. Imho
