Possible headline: Villages reinstates parades after protest
 

That could be the headline if we all banded together and put informational picket lines around the sales offices and the Morrises compound

Please give it a rest.

After a year or two here ,you will think like the rest of us,who needs a parade

Yes, please!! There is obviously a reason for their actions. Insurance, liability ????? Who knows....we'll all survive...:)

You presume to know how long I've been here. I like the parades but there are already two threads on the subject and now a third.

In case you hadn't noticed, not too many are concerned about the parades.

That could be the headline if we all banded together and put informational picket lines around the sales offices and the Morrises compound

But we are concerned about how to spell Morse!

How'm I doin',..... Old coach Ed?

It ain't easy.

No st Patrick's day parade
 

I have spoken to some club leaders they say if the meeting doesn't go well ,,, this is an option that is being explored with real possibility, we old folks got to unite! We can get Johnny bubbles to drive around in his cart to get our message out there!!

Love this! The Posse just got a new slogan. ;)

There is a notice at the Hemingway mail station from Dist7 rep. stating the Parades will continue and Janet Tutt also said it according to the other posting on this same topic.

Praise the Lord!
 

Our voice has been heard! We must never let them bully us!

Um... not getting everything we want is not the same as being bullied. Just saying.

Headline could also read. Developer imposes curfew fro 6PM to 6AM due to protest! lol

Who is them??

For every person that loves parades, you can find 2 that find them an inconvenience. I vote for 100rds of celebrations, but no parades.

Some folks just like to start rumors to keep it lively

People need to remember this is not a resort where the owner/operator is obligated to provide entertainment for the guests. The developer built a community with certain amenities. He is not responsible for providing a never-ending stream of events. I suspect that this decision was the result of increasing problems involved with running the parades as the population increased. Similar to the buffalo problems.

The only "buffalo problem" was the fact a few buffalo were wandering around land worth a fortune if it was developed. Now it's developed and the buffalo are somewhere else.

Despite all the verbiage regarding dozens of alleged lawsuits, nobody ever produced any evidence of even one being filed.

Nobody denies Morse is a successful business man. So stop and think what makes more sense from a business perspective, development or vacant land.

residents rallied to an unofficial rumor/what ever and protested enmass in front of the Morse clan and obtained an unofficial reversal......

some folks are so easily sucked/suckered in and satisfied with no evidence of basis what so ever.

btk

You're my man, Billy. Will you run for public office? You say it clearly and with no meaness.

People do not JUMP to conclusions here. They leap, catapult and soar. And forget about that the Village Voice was quoted again and again.

When there are parades, some of us will remember that there were none called off and some of us will gloat that they were "reinstated". Whatever floats your boat................and makes your little hearts happy. ;)

This is a little slice of heaven...with lots of spice and excitement.

Just some humor here. I like parades..............but they are not why I moved to TV.

Loved your headlines!:pepper2:

Gracie, you out done yourself. Love it.

As far as parades. :popcorn:

read tutt's words closely
 

Ms. Tutt said there would still be "holiday" parades. Nowhere that I saw did she define what qualified as a holiday. My understanding (rumor I heard) is that this does not include "ethnic" holidays like St. Patricks, German,Italian, Dyngus, Cinco de Mayo, whatever. If you are the Italian club or the Irish club etc. that would be the clarification needed.

Are we trying to get this wound up again ??

TV spends a literal fortune on entertainment that is free to us, 363 nights per year, at two town squares that just a couple of years ago served about 70,000 people. That is 363 nights x 4 hours of union musician wages for 2 or more musicians x 2 squares.

Add to that now, a third town square and the population is now around 90,000 and will grow to at least 100,000. This is another location at which the developers are providing nightly entertainment in addition to the first two squares--live music, free to everyone, regardless of whether they don't spend even one cent, nurse one drink all night that they got as a two-for-one during Happy Hour, or whether they buy $100 worth of booze at the bar huts on the squares.

It's embarrassing to see so many people pouting and looking a gift horse in the mouth. Parades are usually sponsored by community groups! And while the developers provided these parades to indirectly attract home buyers, I think the developers also provided these festivals and parades to directly cultivate a sense of community....actual residents having the time of their lives....which is then highly attractive to buyers.

If the community spirit were not genuine at these events, they would fall flat. Community spirit is beneficial to BOTH residents and the developers wanting to attract home buyers!

I say "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" and be thankful for the unparalleled entertainment we do have!

Possibly
 

All this fuss about parades maybe stopping. Here's a thought. When we have a Parade people complain about those who get there early and save tables and chairs and then nobody sitting in them, horrible vendors, to many people and oh yea they drive home after drinking all day. Maybe the powers to be got tired of hearing those complaints and decided to stop the parades. So in that case they did those complainers a favor.

My neighbors have been going to the Christmas parade for 40 years, when they started singing carols and walking around Paradise Lake in Orange Blossom Gardens. Now that many of them use walkers and wheel chairs, this is one of those occasions they have to look forward to getting out of the house. This is the only Christmas celebration that many of them have since their spouses and families have passed on. To cancel this celebration would be a real hardship for these friends of Harold Schwartz, who would roll over in his grave, if he hadn't been cremated.
