how great the shows have been this Christmas and Holiday season and thought it would be a nice idea to list the many entertainment opportunities we have available the next week or so.   If you are like I am, I know there is a lot going on but not sure where to get the information.  I know they come out with a calendar the beginning of each month telling you what the entertainment is for that month, but if you don’t keep it or misplace it, you are left wondering.  Have you ever wanted to know what is going on the next week because you have out of town guests coming, or you just want to make sure to catch the good shows yourself.  I figured that would be a nice gift I could pass along to you all, go here and here is the list.  Well, I started going to sites I thought would have that information, and when I am researching something like this, I have a piece of paper that I jot  notes down on.  Usually a half of a piece of paper is sufficient, however I used two pieces of paper jotting down information.  I found of list of 21 entertainment opportunties between now and the end of the year.  I found another list that gave me an additional 22 more shows between now and the end of January.  I am now up to 43 things I could do.  I started noting things like Magic Breaking The Sound Barrier, Internationist Pianists, Smokey Joe’s Cafe, VCPO Beethoven’s Eroica, Mo Vints Hermonicats and realized that I had 37 more shows to notate.  There has to be a better way.  I continued searching and thought the box office, I can get it all there.  Yes, if you have to buy a ticket, but many of our shows are free, so I made a few more notes, and continued my search.  After more than an hour my head was swimming, I’m not sure wheter it was from the information I was furiously compiling or the two cups of coffee I was consuming.  I finally took a deep breath and said this is not like The Villages to make me go through hoops to find this information.  They make everything easy for us, so why am I having such a hard time.  I truly believe in my heart that The Villages does everything right, so what am I doing wrong?  The answer was right in front of me.  It was so easy that I didn’t see it.   It was so easy that any one with limited computer skills could find it.  It was a beautiful site to find.  Anything you want to know,  what’s happening today, click…what’s happening at Savannah Center, click…Church On The Square, click…I was so excited when I found it yet felt so stupid for not finding it sooner.   Here is my gift to you…go to www.thevillages.com and at the top menu click on Lifestyle.  On the menu on the left click on Live Entertainment.  I suggest for people not familiar with our entertainment to click on the individual site such as Church On The Square as it  will tell you about the Church (actually it is a Church but is used more for performing arts), there is a slide show and then the schedule.  If you want to know what is happening today, click on  that, or if you want to know what is going on next week, or next month click on all entertainment.  It’s as easy as 1,2,3, actually easier and you have it all at your finger tips.  Once again I have to congratulate The Villages for doing what they are doing and that is enriching our lives in so many ways and oh yes at the same time,  making it all easy.
