Brownwood was and is a plan that's coming to fruition.
Beautiful, fun, friendly and perfect would be MY intuition.
It'll be horsey, and something from Florida in days long past.
It's all for us and we will be the central figures, part of the cast.

And it will be when it will be. No one knows.

Patience, Grasshopper.

Went by Brownwood yesterday and there is quite a bit of work going on. Sign is now up on the bank near the Buena Vista entrance to Brownwood.

VMail and The Villages Entertainment Dept newsletter both come out late next week so if the information I have heard from a couple of sources is correct then news should be coming out very soon.

Default Should be soon

I drove past Brownwood today and they're laying sod. Went to the Uncle Bob's Rock Shop show last week (Great Group) and they announced that they would be performing at the new square on Halloween.

I have been told there will be a Farmers' Market on Oct. 13th. Will have to wait and see. Got this info from one who will be offering items for sale that particular day. Not sure if it is going to be a weekly, monthly thing or just for that Saturday. Used to have some vendors at Lake Sumter Landing when we were first here 6 years ago...not sure if it still happens.

Lots of building to be completed in Brownwood even after its PHASE I opening. Can you imagine the traffic for the first few weeks going to Brownwood? I hope there is plenty of parking for cars and golf carts! Let it happen.
