Bait Shack - Lake Sumter Landing

Each of the "Hometowns" in The Villages have "bait shacks" in the downtown squares. Usually, the bait shacks offer 2 for 1 drinks from 5 to 7 pm. They call that "Happy Hour." Often by 7:00, lots of folks have become quite "happy."

Brownwood Town Square II

The town square - Brownwood

The town square in Brownwood is quite different than the other town squares in Spanish Springs and Lake Sumter Landing. Brownwood features stadium-type seating, although chairs could be set up in the open area of the square. There is a log-cabin type of stage and we'll post photos of that soon.
