I really appreciate everyones's comments, and agree that it is this time of year that's the most difficult to deal with...and I accept the fact that the winter visitors are part of the reason all the restaurants etc. are here for the rest of us the year round...but my thinking was really in the direction of how can we improve the experience for all, while The Villages is at or near capacity.
I mentioned perhaps having the Home and Garden Show (and Craft Fairs, etc) be a two day event. That would certainly be a new idea for The Villages, as far as I know...All events of this type where we came from are multi-day events, at minimum, a Saturday and Sunday. That would ease some of the urgency and crowding. And why don't the restaraunts accept reservations? I'm not criticizing, but rather wondering why?
