UPDATE!!!!2nd Annual Freeze UPDATE!!!!!
 

Announcing the 2nd Annual Freeze in The Villages!

Due to scheduling conflicts the time and date have been changed. We will now be Freezing to Rocky and the Roller's, at (see below)
Almost a year ago in April, of 2008 we held the 1st Annual Freeze in TV. There were about 30+/- people that showed up for what turned out to be a really fun, friend making, event. Some of us knew each other and some of us didn't, but we were all friends at the end.

Come and join us this year, make new friends, and laugh with the people you already know. Everyone is welcome and invited to join in the fun.

Date: Feb. 17th, 2009
Time: 5:15pm
Where: The clock at Lake Sumter Landing

Meeting at 5:15 allows us to walk onto the Square together... the actual Freeze will begin at 5:30pm sharp.

All participants will freeze when they hear the horn/whistle that I will blow at 5:30pm.

Participants will hold their chosen position for 4 minutes (we went for 3 minutes last year, so we will up it by 1 minute this year....because we can!)

At the end of the 4 minutes, I will blow the horn/whistle again and we will all dance to the music, walk, talk, move, whatever.

It's simple, it's fun. The hardest thing is not laughing during the actual Freeze part!

Now here is the twist. Creative poses would be fun. Perhaps you will freeze in a kissing pose, like our famed couple from last year, Shirleevee and her Hubby. Maybe you will hold a big heart. Maybe you will come in costume, whatever clever idea you can come up with is great. Simply holding still is enough.

Hope you will join in the fun.
See you there!

Hi Just Susan,

Count us in again.

Thanks for planning this for all of us.

Bright - I hear you have Dutch Elm Disease, is that true? The freeze is the only cure known to man!

HB

I am so sorry to hear about Brightspot's Dutch Elm disease and happy to know that THE FREEZE will cure it. (Does anyone know how she got it?) I had a little episode of Dropsy last week and wonder if THE FREEZE would alleviate the symptoms?

LOL LOL LOL

Susan, sorry I will miss the freeze, can't wait to see the video, but I will see you the next weekend...FINALLY!!!!:wave::wave:

Gracie - since the freeze is a wonderful event, I think it can cure anything. LOL

HB

Susan...thanks for organizing this fun event again. Last year I wasn't here for the "Freeze," but the video looked like a wonderfully zany, loony, time was had by all, and I am so happy to be here to participate this year. I will be there with icycles on...hmmmm...not a bad idea. Thanks again for organizing the "Freeze." :pepper2::laugh:
Blondie

Last year was so much fun. Chachacha was visiting TV and I walked up to her and told her what we were doing and asked her to join in. She was such a great sport and froze with us. We had a wonderful time.

I think that's the date of The Bobby Vinton trip to UCF...

Another freeze.... well count me in. We had such a fantastic time last year.....
Sam and I will talk the hubs into joining us this year.
I'll be there with HEARTS on!!!!!!!!!

Valentine's Day?
 

Most of us will be out to dinner treating out loved ones for Valentine's Day. The squares were nearly empty last year at this time.

I could think of many other dates where you'd get a much better turn-out.

JMHO

Skip

Count us in .. we had a wonderful time at last year's Freeze.

We will be there for sure! With bells on. Or hearts on. Oh, just thought of something .. Fireboy has a bow and arrow, perhaps I can persuade him to dress up like Cupid. LOL.

Won't be able to make this one, but I'll be watching.

The TOTV Freezers strike again!!

We've been "FREEZING " in NJ for 2 months now! 2 more to go....
Could you do a Spring "Thaw" for those of us wishing we were there??? Have fun guys. Wish were there to do it with you all! We watched it last year. It was hysterical.

My Dutch Elm disease won't be cured by then sorry to say. And...I certainly wouldn't want to pass it on to my hubby and his buddy who will be in TV at that time and participating in the FREEZE! How horrible if I passed it on to them at a time they planned a week getaway by themselves.

For those of you who missed The FREEZE last year...here is a video replay. Enjoy!

I'm with you Kathie. I would love to attend but have plans that evening. Additionally, there's just a DJ at the square that night and the impact might not be as great as on a Rocky and The Rollers night (2/17).

Due to scheduling conflicts the time and date have been changed. We will now be Freezing to Rocky and the Roller's, at LSL. (see below)

Come and join us this year, make new friends, and laugh with the people you already know. Everyone is welcome and invited to join in the fun.

Date: Feb. 17th, 2009
Time: 5:15pm
Where: The clock at Lake Sumter Landing

Meeting at 5:15 allows us to walk onto the Square together... the actual Freeze will begin at 5:30pm sharp.

All participants will freeze when they hear the horn/whistle that I will blow at 5:30pm. Freeze will last for 4 minutes. Creative poses welcome...just make sure you can hold the pose for 4 minutes. Horn/whistle will blow at the end of time and you will be free to move at that time.

Come join us, bring a friend. It really is fun!!

You don't need a date to FREEZE, Kathie. Dancing is optional.

We will have fun though. I am so glad you will be joining us. With all your influence I'm sure you will be bringing quite a crowd with you. Yay!:coolsmiley:

Wow - now we can participate. We don't arrive until late on the 14th and I was disappointed that we would miss it. We'll be there now.:pepper2:

Keep gathering the forces people. Truly it is the more the merrier. This is an event that builds friendships. So bring some and join us, to meet more.
:pepper2::pepper2::pepper2:

I'm really glad it has been changed to a "Rocky" night. There will probably be a much larger crowd than on the 14th.

We had so much fun last year, we laughed and laughed.

:cryin2::cryin2::cryin2:

We're gonna miss it, we won't be there until March.
Next year we freeze!

Sounds like fun....If you have room for one more, count me in too!!:pepper2::pepper2:
Charlene

Charlene there is always room for one more. Welcome, you are going to have a great time. Don't you just love being mature enough to not care about being mature?:clap2: :highfive: :thumbup: :wave:

Just Susan,

Thats the best part!! :pepper2:

See you there - Charlene

Yeah!
 

The last Freeze was so much fun! Vetman and I will be there! Frozen.:laugh:

In the words of Jimmy Buffet'
"We're growing older now, not up".:highfive: :thumbup: :wave:

I am very depressed. I can't take time off work to be there for this wonderful 2nd annual event.

My hubby will...along with a buddy (You know, a male bonding week).

Knowing my hubs is leaving for TV in the morning has not made for a good week for me. I'm narly and I"m sure my 3rd graders are going home every day saying..."My teacher isn't in the best of moods this week."

The Freeze is a wonderful time to meet new people (and meet up with those you already know) and to shock the heck out of all others at LSL.

Please go if you can...you will have wonderful memories!

SEE YOU ALL, Tuesday the 17th at LSL at 5:15.
 

EVERYONE. Please come to the freeze. I am going to wear a shirt with GRACIE GIRL on the back and I hope I get some hugs from new friends. Our other daughter, Gretchen and her son Colin will be here to visit along with Sweetie and Helene of course. Who else is coming??????

Meet you at the clock at Lake Sumter landing Tuesday night at 5:15. We freeze at 5:30 when the whistle blows and if you don't wanna freeze, come and watch, but come to the clock so my family can meet you.

Tuesday, February 17th.

Gracie -
feb. 13th - what happened to feb. 17th??

THE correct date is 17 February.
 

I AM WRONG. IT is the 17th. I have no excuse for my stupidity. Susan I am sorry.

Freeze or watch on Tuesday February 17. Meet at the clock at 5:15

Missed it by that much,,gonna b down on the 20th..have fun

Although I'm not in TV my hubs and a buddy are. They will be there.

I think Just Susan, Hyacinth Bucket, Rokinronda, Barefoot, Gracie, Beady, Chelsea, Sam, Johnny, Blondie, VillageKid, and 007 will be there.

Who else plans to join in?

I put it on my calendar.
