Have you ever heard or seen a Flash Mob?

Talented, Fun loving people pull entrainment surprises in the least likely places. Different themes, different places, different people. But they are all fun and if you've never seen one, here are a couple of examples. Please bear with the commercials at the beginning. The videos are worth watching.

FYI: All TV residents can participate in an real live, actual flash mob at Lake Sumter Landing at 8am on July 27. The flash mob scene will be the finale of the VCDD's month-long Rock Your Park celebration!

To quote Belushi in Animal House, "Let's do it!!!!"

Some group that promotes "Motherhood" thought the dads should get their time in the limelight..........the entire video lasted about five to ten minutes..........it was a horde of young fathers............when I mentioned to them that the kindergartens would be overcrowded in a few years, they said that actually, it was from all over Denver proper.

I adore flash mobs. To me, they are a remarkable, touching and breathtaking innovation of modern culture.

But alas, I've only seen the youtube replays. What I wouldn't give to happen upon a professional and unexpected live flash-mob performance!

This one was one of my favorites:

Up in Chicago they become quite distructive groups, police have had a bit of a problem with them

Does anyone remember our 2 TOTV freezes at Lake Sumter Landing? They are on youtube. Why not have another one? The last one was when Rocky and the Rollers were performing which guaranteed us a good crowd.

Never seen a Flash Mob in person. Best one on tv featured Handel's Hallelujah Chorus!

But, I did participate in our first Freeze at Market Square. It was great fun, and caused some commotion.

Especially our very own Shirleevee and her SO Pete who locked lips for the entire time! :BigApplause:

Who said growing "old" wasn't fun?

There was a flash mob about 3 months ago in Lake Sumter. Staged by the Villages school system for Moffitt:
