-9- Ms. Beard also had a political reception and a couple of parties and family gatherings at petitioner's home during which guests walked through the conservatory on dates not specified in the record. Petitioner contracted with a nursery in Brandenburg, Kentucky, to grow seedlings for the conservatory until she built her own greenhouse sometime after Broadmoor Gardens opened in 1993. Petitioner did not advertise Broadmoor Gardens in 1990 or 1991. She paid $1,530 in 1992, $37,923 in 1993, $11,235 in 1994, $3,597 in 1995, and $1,719 in 1996 to advertise Broadmoor Gardens. Broadmoor Gardens opened on the first of April each year and closed when visitors stopped coming in mid-to-late fall. Petitioner obtained a general business license for Broadmoor Gardens in 1993. She had no business license for the farm. She had commercial liability insurance for Broadmoor Gardens through Lloyd's of London because her farm insurance policy did not cover tourists who visited the gardens. Petitioner managed both the farm and Broadmoor Gardens. Petitioner and Ms. Beard had an informal, unwritten joint venture agreement under which Ms. Beard would share part of any profits from Broadmoor Gardens in exchange for her efforts.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 Next
