Default What Is With the Wagons on the Way To Fenny

If TV does not own the land, why are there three or four wagons on the way to Fenny? Anyone know the details?

These wagons look like what the pioneers used to cross the nation. I guess they are telling us that this is Villages property to be built in the near future.

Default Wagons

Was Ward Bond at the front yelling "Wagons, ho." (Surely some of us can remember that show -- sorry, didn't mean to call you Shirley.)

The tour guide on the trolley ride to Fenny said, covered wagons were placed on property belonging to The Villages. Fenny is considered the southern most village with additional building coming north.

That is correct, the wagons are on Villages owned property and you can expect to see more as they purchase more property going North from Fenney.

Default Wagons

OK. Good info. So, why must we rely on social networking for explanations? Is the developer mute?

The wagons are there because The Villages has also bought the land the wagons are on and plan to expand there as well. This was what the man who worked for the villages said while we were on the trolley. He was our "guide" for the ride to Fenny, giving us facts about the land and Fenny itself along the way.

Don't think the developer is mute...the shuttle guide made it pretty clear that TV owns the property where the wagons are located. It's also been in the paper. Maybe you missed it.
