Yes, my girlfriend and I went yesterday. Unfortunately it was cool, but that kept the crowds down. We walked the grounds, went to a couple of the entertainment venues - including Nathan Osmond which was free - had a "make your own strawberry shortcake" for $4 and then went to the Scotty McCreery show in the grandstand - open air venue - we took chair cushions and a blanket. It lasted 1 1/2 hrs. and they have screens so you can see up close if your seats aren't center stage. Small town version of a big town fair, but fun for a day trip out of The Villages. Took 301 S to 39A and parked across the street from the grounds for $10 - easy in and out. LOTS of food vendors.
