My husband and I got there at 4:40, and the parade was over. Obviously they were trying to show that not many people were interested in the parade. Then what really got me angry, was a saw a women with a professional camcorder, taping a man, holding a mike. He was using all the people behind and around him, to make a video of the wonderful activities that The Villages offers. If they don't want us having parades, then why do they have the nerve to use those videos as PR to get people to move here? I had all to do to control myself from grabbing the mike and stating that it was all a lie. I love it here in The Villages, but hate that they're misleading people. Trish. :mad:

I don't understand. I think the entertainment department had festivities too.
I think that the entertainment departments festivities started at 4:45. I don't understand what was misleading.
I know that some people are very annoyed about not having a parade including residents. But was THAT parade that did happen due to the diligence of people who wanted it to happen being taped and passed off as something from the entertainment department?
I understand that the entertainment department has been recently sold to some folks called Vesco who had run it for considerable time and it is no longer owned by the developer. I understand that the entertainment on the squares was always funded by the merchants on the squares. Just to get things straight for one poster who thinks I work for TV which I don't, dagnabbit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't have a dog in this fight because we went to see the parades the first year or so we were here and then felt we had seen them. There are many, many, people who love parades here. And they also must love crowds. Us, not so much.
I just got up and didn't check today's Daily Sun to see if the residents parade was covered.
We will be hearing from a lot of people soon, I can tell by the intensity of your post.
Disclaimer; I don't work for TV. I am not benefitted in any way, shape or form, financially or with gifts or favors for saying the stuff I do.. I honestly and from my heart think that The Villages is all that and a bag of chips. AND to the anonymous person who has sent nasty PMs to me asking how much The Villages pay me for being so positive about it, I wish you had known me all of my life. NO ONE buys me.
