Q.I am looking for the name, address and phone number of the Koi fish farm in Webster. I am stocking a pond and was told you have one. Please help me. thanx, jim

Q.I am planning a trip to Disneyworld real soon and be staying in Orlando. Wishing to visit Webster. Can you tell me how far that is from Orlando? Thanks
A.It is just over 50 miles from Disney World to Webster in nearby Sumter County. For driving directions take SR-50 (Colonial Drive in Orlando) due west to the intersection of SR-471 in Tarrytown. There you turn north (right) 4 more miles into Webster.
Q.phone number for webster west side flea market
A.The Webster Westside Flea Market located at 516 NW 3rd St in Webster is open each Monday – except for any Christmas Day that falls on Monday. The phone number is: 800.832.7396 (tollfree); 352.793.9877 and Email.
Q.who is the Water Department Director in Wildwood Florida.
A.The Director of Water Utilities for the City of Wildwood is Bret Zigler and the phone number to contact Bret is 352.330.1346.
Q.Is there special parking for motorhomes at the Webster flea market?  We have a 37foot.
How do you get there from Citrus County?
Thank you in advance.
A.There is plenty of oversize parking at the Webster Flea Market - directly or nearby, but arrive early if you can - the traffic there can get quite heavy at this popular flea market destination. The quickest way from Citrus County is to drive travel down US-41 until you get to Floral City (south of Invnerness), then take Orange Avenue to E Bushnell Rd (CR-48). This will take you through Wahoo and into Bushnell. Stay on CR-48 until you get to SR-471 which will take you to Webster.
Q.Started the fleamarket in Webster every monday? which time? THANKS gerhard Kaupp
A.The Webster Westside Flea Market at NW Third Street & CR-478 in Webster operates from 6 AM to dark. Admission is free but there is a parking charge. This is one of Florida's largest with over 500 dealers in all categories. Plan on doing a lot of walking.
Q.im concerned about my best friend that lives in wildwood,have not been able to contact her since the hurrican charlie hit,was this county involved in the by charlie and how much damage was done there and is there a death toll    thank toy for any info you can give me on this matter   'm'
A.I am certain there is nothing to worry about, FloridaView staff drove thru the Wildwood area today and saw no significant damage. Sumter County (Wildwood)was not as affected by Charley as was nearby Lake and Polk Counties.  There are a few individual power and phone outages in some areas and they are being addressed quickly by Florida and Georgia utilities.
