Should also hold the farmers market out back in the parking area over at Brownwood. Would save a lot of walking. Just an idea from someone that's handicapped and doesn't go to the entertainment because of the parking the vendors take up. I'm sure there are a lot of people in the same boat......
We all know the parking is inadequate at the squares, but I think to limit it to golf carts only is unfair to those of us who don't have golf carts. However, the only time I ever park on the square is during the early morning or late night hours, rest of the time, I'm behind the squares in larger parking lots. So, in a way, I agree with your statement.

Secondly, I've been saying the same thing about vendor parking for the past 6 years. They should be made to park in outlying lots after they unload their goods. Having those spaces taken up just eliminates more customers from viewing their goods, they would actually benefit from this change, IMHO.
