This video gives a great look at the idea behind The Villages Senior Games:

Here’s what else I’m reading this week:

Say it with me…135,638 people:

• Population surging in The Villages thanks to new homes at the southern end (Villages-News)

Want three good reasons people continue to flock to The Villages? Here you go:

1. Festivals like the recent Blueberry Festival are one of the best things about living in The Villages:

• Blueberry Festival a sweet success (The Villages Daily Sun)

2. Coming together to support great causes is another great thing about The Villages:

• Beloved entertainers in The Villages coming together in benefit for Ukraine (Villages-News)

3. And definitely the variety of unique clubs and activities:

• Social Club Spotlight: Flying Flowers

One thing the developer and residents can’t agree on is what’s best for Spanish Springs.

There’s this:

• Villagers fear apartments and parking power grab signal end of Spanish Springs (Villages-News)

Contrasted with this:

• Spanish Springs remains a lifestyle hub after 28 years (The Villages Daily Sun)

I guess we’ll have to wait and see how this battle plays out.

Middleton, the family neighborhood coming to The Villages, is definitely moving forward though:

That’s all for this week. Until next time!
