I am trying to supply some interesting facts about our hometown to a fourth grade class. I need help with updated information on number of villages, pools, golf courses, clubs and fun information.

Most of what I am finding is outdated. Can anyone help?

Good luck!
Our 4th grade grandkids are only interested in one thing, riding in the golf cart to the family pool.
They also think they are too cool to be seen at the entertainment squares.

Also, try calling the Daily Sun, they periodically print this information.

Good luck with the information on the district.gov website. Maps are years out of date, district facts haven't been updated in years.

I am trying to put myself back to being 9 or 10 years old and what interested me then. I believe I would want to know about the number of swimming pools and softball fields there were, about driving golf carts on the paths, the golf cart bridge and golf cart tunnels, how many dogs people had, where the best burgers and pizza could be found, where I could shoot arrows with my bow and fire my BB gun, fly model airplanes and sail RC model boats and perhaps some information about the schools. Maybe information on the wildlife, alligators, birds, bears, coyotes and panthers.

Dry statistics might not have been of much interest other than how many 'rich old people' lived in TV and how big it was.

I would show them a video too. The Villages The Golf Channel In Play With Jimmy Roberts - YouTube

Thank you all for your great ideas! Villagers never disappoint.

Would be great also if you post the final list of facts on here when done with your presentation. The public records vary so much by date that the facts get misleading. Thanks!
