Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

I have taken the unpopular step of removing a thread that has some major changes regarding the Lake Sumter New Years eve party. Here's why.

Lots of people are affected by any change in the New Years eve celebration plans at Lake Sumter Landing. We have no official word about any drastic change in plans. We have no way to corroborate this story. Therefore, we have pulled the thread until an official announcement is made by the Villages. We do not want this forum to be responsible for spreading any information that may not be completely accurate, particularly since it affects so many people and the revenue of so many merchants.

We trust the members to post accurate information, but in this case, it is more prudent to wait a few more hours to hear official information. Then, you may comment.

Lets wait to see what is in the paper tomorrow.

You need the wisdom of Solomon to administer this blog. Good call and excellent explanation.

Best to go that way! Thanks!

As a potential TVer, I appreciate your attempts to keep the TOTV factual and balanced. Those of us who trying to soak up every detail about life in TV are relying on accurate information. Rumors don't help. Keep up the good work. We appreciate more than you can know.

I wish it was a rumor :(

:agree:
Wait and see is definately the best policy.
Get it "from the horses mouth" as they say.

Good call Jan

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

I've seen nothing offcial on the parking meters, yet you let that thread remain (in fact, you started that thread) ! ! ! Is that not also misinformation or is it fact ? Or are you just spreading rumors ?

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

There is a huge difference between the two. If the parking meter item is just fasle rumor, it affects no one. If a party rumor is false, thousands of people can be adversely affected and they may change their short term plans.

Did anybody see it in the paper today??

According to today's Daily Sun, the New Year's Eve celebration has been pulled. The music will play at the normal times, 5 to 9 PM. Money will be refunded to those who purchased tables.

Ms. Vesco's spin machine must have been in overtime....great that the announcement was buried on page C4. What a PR disaster.....

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

According to this mornings paper on page C4 both squares will be normal 5 to 9 on NYE. I made an earlier post this morning (about 6 am) referencing the article in the paper.

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

I would rather have my own party through midnight. I am still too young to quit celebrating at 9PM!!! It's starting to sound like my father's assissted living facility.

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

Just curious...who says people have to leave the square at 9:00...it is a public square...right? Can someone bring a boom box and let the goodtimes roll? I just cannot believe a group of senior citizens gone wild at TV.

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

Let's see... If the normal music is at LSL from 5-9PM, then we can celebrate:

At 6PM - New Year's in most of western Europe
At 7PM - " " " England & Ireland
At 8PM - " " " Somewhere in the Central Atlantic Ocean
At 9PM - " " " Brazil & Chile

By the time I've toasted all of those, I'm not sure I'll be awake anyway for anything later (LOL)

Great minds think a like. I had thought about doing that.
BTW went to get my NYE refund and was given sixteen small bottles of champagne (eight for each table)for my trouble. Nice touch but I don't like champagne.

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

I called the entertainment dep't.
Linda said that the story told to her was that "law enforcement" recommended the music stop at 9pm.
I called & spoke with Lt. Wolf of Sumter Sheriffs office. He said he did not make that recommendation. He said there were no arrests at the square last year.
Barbara from the entertainment office called & said she canceled it because she walked around the square and saw a fight last year. When I told her that Lt. Wolf said there were no arrests her reply was --- There was too many people wanting space, we never promised you new years entertainment so, we are only doing 5 to 9.

Too many Villagers wanted to go to the party. Sounds like? :joke:

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

Good for TV. Enough complaining and thay shut it down. Enough said.

Re: Lake Sumter New Years eve party thread has been pulled. Here's why
 

Been there done that. LOL


:beer2: :agree:

You could really get mileage out of this idea if you were in Hawaii or NYE. Could celebrate New York's NYE, then Chicago's, then Denver's, then Los Angeles, then Anchorage's, and finally Honolulu's. Does Midway or Nome have a NYE's celebration?
