Maybe not, but it certainly appears that there is some sort of very close relationship.

I suspect a relatively low percentage of The Villages went to Golfest. I see plenty of Parcars around The Villages so they are apparently well known. Carts and Clubs in Ocala wasn't there and they are well known also. I really believe this is a non-issue.

PS I own a Village Golf Cart.

I don't see anything wrong with limiting free enterprise to those businesses within your own community. If you lived in a city or town up north and they had some sort of event with local businesses it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to limit it to businesses within that city or town.

Why didn't Columbia Par-Car invite the Villages Golf Car Store to display their carts at the cookout at their location on Saturday ?

"Tempest in a teapot"--- If you own the business, own the land and arrange the event, you get to choose the participants. That IS the American way.

LOL, they did! Don't you remember ParCar flew a banner over the golf festival.....I think it was an electric plane too!

It's obvious to the most casual observer that The Villages management knows that ParCar makes a superior product and they were afraid to lose the business.
But you're right, it's their playground and their ball.

I agree. The owner of the ParCar dealership should be thanking the Morse family for building the Villages and creating an environment that allows a business person to come in and be successful. Instead they choose to act like a child and through a tantrum.

The Villages shut out other businesses. Like I missed my Honey Baked Ham Sandwich. Only La Hacienda served food. The fest was not as great as in the past. Bring back the old organizers and vendors and then I will attend again.

Did you read that before ....up until THIS year, it was part of a NATIONAL sales event put on by Golfweek, the magazine. They stopped doing it so you can't bring it back. Now The Villages are doing their best to bring you a venue, probably not the same but they are trying. I am so sorry about your honey baked ham sandwich, but dang as a teacher I am gonna keep trying to explain what happened. The Morse family may be all as mean as Atilla the Hun, but this woman is a huge fan of free enterprise and gets annoyed when everybody has to be treated the same just because they are breathing. That does not mean I think you should be ugly to people, but even little kids know about competition. You don't give the other team advantage. Sheesh.
