Good Morning Villagers and non-villagers! I have recently moved to Leesburg, FL and I am looking for fun things to do. Specifically, food and wine or food festivals/events in the surrounding area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Orlando, Fruitland Park, Leesburg, Eustis, Clermont, Mount Dora, Webster, The Villages, etc...any of these are fair game. Thank you for your help!

Some of us are too poor to run with the 1%.

There is a woman who lives in TV (her name escapes me right now). She writes books about things to do on day trips around Central Florida. You may want to go to the Leesburg Library and see what you can find.

Also, if genealogy is your cup,of tea, the Leesburg Library has excellent resources and a librarian who specializes in genealogy. He is a member of our local chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
