Probably simultaneous at each square would be the best chance of better distribution of the crowds ! ? Not easy and relaxing anymore with literally thousands increasing the population every year. Using only the polo club does not seem like it would solve the issue. Like everything, I agree these celebrations are "not what they used to be"... but, as the old saying goes, "it is what it is".

A shuttle system to and from where, exactly? And who will pay for it?

You can't move the strawberry festival to May. This is strawberry season. That's kind of the whole point of the festival.
Great reply.

We were wondering the same thing, minus the polo field. We'd go to a square but not the field, although we realized this made far too much sense.... so we changed the subject

Yeah, I've heard they're expanding the Mount Dora art festival into Travares next year. With plans to go all the way to Leesburg. That should handle the crowds. All those greedy developers south of The Villages are destroying the sleepy agricultural communities. Or is it all the northern snowbirds looking for a nest.

Are you aware of how disrespectful your profile picture is? To both the flag, and the Constitution?

Tell the people that set the amenity fees to included free community travel buses to pick up residence to bring to these events. What good is it to have an event were people cannot drive be able to get to them. That is just as important as free golf.

Default Crowded Squares & Events
[QUOTE yes that developer is certainly crowding us in. with all their housing and apartments etc. sardines.

=Nana2Teddy;2191438]We just tried to go at 11:30 in our car, and couldn’t park. It was insane. We’re going to try later in our golf cart because we did occasionally see a golf cart spot open. This will be our first Strawberry Festival, so definitely not a great first impression.[/QUOTE]
