Thanks for the quick response!
And I'm going off topic about the distance/time. But I like that you are looking for things to do that aren't necessarily inside The Villages. One year we went to downtown Leesburg during Halloween. The whole town was full of really fun decorations and mannequins, etc. My favorite was a man in overalls bent over into a manhole cover apparently fixing some sewer thing. There were many more like this. Please go! It's really a quaint place.



Also, a block off the main street there is a wonderful gardening store.


We live just north of 466A, in Tamarind Grove off of St. Charles St. I would say 25 minutes to downtown Leesburg.
