Cool Entertainment at the squares

Looking at the entertainment for sept., I think the budget for entertainment has has dropped. Now I am a rock and roll fan, no country, so depending on your taste in music, you may disagree. Also a band must have a drummer, not taped background ala clark barrios. With 90 days of possibilities between the 3 squares, 1 each of rocky, uncle bob, and cactus jack. Earthbeat, paradise, and mpire also have 1 appearance and they are all pretty good. I still am confused about the income to pay for the entertainment and who runs it. Some say the person who is in charge runs it along with her husband who runs a booking agency out of Orlando. That would be the vesko's I presume. I know the income comes from the vendors, (used to be $30.00 a night, not sure what it is now), bar huts, $82 a night from sumter county, ($60,000 grant -730 night of entertainment-2 squares), and the merchants also chip in. Maybe someone knows more.
