New Year's Eve party at Lake Miona.

Waiting for the band to start.

OMG the music is so low, I can't hear what song is being played until the chorus! Where are you Vinyl Recall? I need a band with some energy

[Baileysmom]

Help I am trapped here too, Doug won't let me leave

[DonH57]

I could have stayed home and listened to the coyotes howl behind El Santiago golf course.

At home tonight, but wondering why TV doesn't have music in the squares go until 12:30am - have some small fireworks, etc. Or have a first night type of event with different "stages" of entertainment at churches, rec centers, etc. Would be fun!

just think of the falling golf ball at midnight on the squares.....I guess there's not enough money to be made

We used to have music at the squares until 12:30 but the drinking, chair saving, etc. got carried away. People used to park their cars around the square the day before and then switch their cars for tables, chairs, etc. A minority of residents basically ruined it for everyone and The Villages didn't want to be babysitters for amateurs or irresponsible people. Can't blame them.

I remember when there was music at the squares until 12:30 on New Years Eve. Too much drinking and partying especially from young people outside TV (late teens early 20"s). There was a lot of trouble with much police presence. Thing just got out of hand so iit was decided the music would stop at 9:00

We used to go to the squares for New Years and it was a lot of fun for the major
It's. There was no more police presences than a Rocky and the Rollers night on the square. There also was no more presence of "young people" than is experienced today.

It may have been the table saving and car parking and a few grumps who tangled verbally about it. Which led to complaints by a few that got the legal part of the developers concerned about liability exposure......hence the ending of an excellent New Years venue that was enjoyed by the majority.

The usual few @&$$!?($&? It up for the many.......AGAIN!

We used to do New Years Eve at Spanish Springs, it was the best time, so much fun. Then things changed ................ as they always do.
