Thanks to a fancy new printing press at The Villages Daily Sun, the Observer has officially transitioned from tabloid to broadsheet format. For those who miss the charm of the smaller tabloid size, we have some scissors at the office, and we will be happy to cut off the bottom four inches for you.

But we hope you will enjoy seeing the additional photos and reading the extra stories that will fit on the longer pages.

Thank you for reading. We know you have many ways to spend your time, and we hope that you feel closer to your community by spending a few minutes in our pages, thinking about the welfare of your neighbors and your neighborhood.

Our mission is to inspire our community by publishing extraordinary local content and helping our partners prosper. How can we do that better? Send story ideas and other feedback to [email protected].

When it's about your community, no news is too small — even on big pages.
