I see children selling golf balls on side of multimodule path in area of Magnolia Plaza, they seem to show up every year. Can anyone sell along the path?

No. Not anyone. You must be under the age of 16 and can only sell golf balls.

Hopefully the will allow lemonade to the "allowable" sales for children. Finding and selling the balls, or the lemonade, sets up good life habits, shows motivation (something we are dearly lacking these days), determination, dedication, and gives me hope for the future. If I could lead the decisions, I would bring back junior achievement in every public and private school in the USA. Teaches more than parents or teachers alone could ever teach, and JA gives ACTUAL experience, not just classroom "words". While we're at it, why not make science fair participation mandatory again, developing and carrying out a project is far more than "science", gives real life experience in organization, time management, oral and written communication, practice in actually going through the steps of the scientific method, etc. etc.

Fully agree, however today's curricula are generally dumbed-down to the lowest classroom IQ, therefore social promotion and free passes for everybody is the norm!

About 44% of the country doesn't believe in science. Thoughts and prayers.

Were they set up in one of the modules on the multi-module path? If so, they're fine. Just as long as they sell along a multi-modal path

BTW, how many modules are there on a multi-module path?????

Good for them, I can think of lots of worse ways for them to spend their free time. Nothing wrong with the youth showing some entrepreneurial drive.

Can't help it. Laws-HUH. Entrepreneur? They should set up a franchise and establish older folks as franchisees

Homeowners are not allowed to sell anything out of their own homes, but someone else's kids - who don't live IN the Villages at all, are allowed to sell stuff on the multi-modal paths? Presumably without permits or registration as a business, so they're not charging or paying sales tax...

I mean - the whole bake sale/golf ball sale idea is awesome. I love it. But they should be doing that outside the supermarket, not on the multi-modal path. If /I/ am not allowed to do it, then kids who don't live here shouldn't be allowed to do it either.

and yet an emoji(perhaps eye roll)would have been nice.
