Just wondering if the fountain at the Villages of South Walton is completed yet. Someone on this board said they were trying to complete it by March 20. Any photos of a completed fountain yet? It's near one of my favorite ice cream shops on 30A - the Carvel ice cream place.

As of last weekend it was still not running, but almost. The bricks, fountain heads and landscaping were in place. John and I were sitting at O Henry's (enjoying a really delicious double espresso!) watching them installing the "brain" panel last Saturday. I sure hope the fountain has colored lights. I'm really looking forward to seeing it too.

The sod looked laid yesterday so I am hoping that it will be soon.

The suspense of this thread is killing me... photos please when completed. O'Henry's is where we get our Carvel ice cream (they have other good desserts as well). I haven't yet tried their sandwiches and other foods but will do so soon, especially with the fountain to look at. I hope kids can run in the fountain.

Not done yet but getting close! Wires still sticking up. I walk by almost daily and will try to post a pic when it's up and going.

The fountain was on when we drove past at 5:30 p.m.! Looks like a lot of fun, but it is very close to the road so keep a good eye on your kids.
