Ezell Recreation and Southern Oaks Golf Club Updates, a Halloween House, and more

This week The Villages released a two-part construction update. Part one gives us a tour of the soon to open Ezell Recreation Center:

Part two is an update on the progress of the Southern Oaks Championship Golf Course.

Here's what else I've been reading and watching this week:

Here are some more details about that new course:

Just in time for Halloween, Dave and Brenda from the Exploring The Villages Florida YouTube channel take us on a nighttime golf cart ride to check out some amazing Halloween decorations. The whole video is worth watching but if you're short on time and want to skip ahead to the main event, that starts around the 17:40 mark:

I have a feeling that it's going to be a bit more crowded around town this winter than it was last year:

Speaking of snowbirds, these photos are always good for a laugh:

I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching new people experiencing The Villages for the first time. Here's a video of Lisa, Bob, and their dog Joey checking out The Villages during their lifestyle visit:
