Well it doesn’t look like Barack Obama will be making it to The Villages to campaign before election day, but The Villages is getting a visit from a high powered member of the Democratic party stopping by to campaign on his behalf.

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of President John F. Kennedy will be at the Savannah Center in The Villages on Wednesday afternoon to campaign for Senator Obama. As you may know, Sarah Palin visited The Villages a few weeks ago, and over 25,000 Villagers turned out to see her. Because The Villages is traditionally known as a republican hot spot, the crowd for Caroline Kennedy’s visit is not expected to be as well attended, but she no doubt brings a star quality. Let’s hope The Villages puts party politics aside and lots of folks turn out to see her.
Meanwhile, VP-candidate Joe Biden will be near The Villages, campaigning in nearby Marion County on Tuesday.
Alright, thats enough politics for one week huh? Halloween and Thanksgiving are coming up. Have you got your pumpkins yet? Pumpkins are available at Wal-Mart and Publix. Let us know in the comments if you found a good pumpkin patch in The Villages that everyone should know about.
Thought it was always warm and sunny in Florida and The Villages? Ha! Maybe always sunny but this week we will get our first taste of winter as Old Man Winter pays a special visit to The Villages. Mid-week we should see lows in the 30’s. In case you’re wondering, WESH Channel 2 has probably the best weather coverage for The Villages and surrounding areas.
