Woodgate neighborhood is located one
mile south of I-10, off Thomasville Road in Tallahassee, Florida.
Woodgate began in 1970 with about 70 homes. Today,
there are nearly 300 homes in the area, attracting people
from all over Tallahassee. Along with being zoned for
Leon High School, Cobb Middle School, and Kate Sullivan
Elementary, the neighborhood is in close proximity to
hospitals, shopping centers, and malls.
Woodgate Day is a festival that started in 1973 and has been an
ongoing neighborhood event since. The day consists of
a parade of neighbors, games, food and just fun.
Other neighborhood events that usually take place at Woodgate
are a chili dinner in October, a Christmas party and caroling,
and an Easter egg hunt. The local events are not subsidized
by any outside factions, and the residents are proud to provide
their time, energy and money to make these events successful,
fun and most importantly, traditional.

Current Events
Easter Egg Hunt
For over thirty three years the Easter Bunny has put Woodgate first on his list
of deliveries. We've just received word from head hare helper, Ed Garrett, that
the big rabbit will be at it again. On March 22
, scamper on over to the Garrett's home (3117 Brandywine)
around 10 a.m. for an eggstravaganza
of hunts, piñatas and delicious surprises. From the tiniest toddlers to the
trendiest 'tweens, there's a hunt for you. Oh ya, parents……… the photo ops
are endless! Older rabbit rustler assistants should drop by between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m.

Ladies Night Out
The ladies of Woodgate will be out of the house and under the oaks on
April 7th for this year's Ladies
Night Out. We've picked the outdoor fun of 2 Chez restaurant for our
annual get together. 2 Chez is located under the bright yellow canopies in
front of Chez Pierre restaurant, at the corner of 6th Avenue and Thomasville
Road. Our evening is purely social, no Woodgate business, and is a chance
for the ladies of Woodgate to have a fun and friendly evening with old friends
while making new. Last year's event was attended by single and married women,
seniors, professionals, and stay at home moms. All Woodgate Women are welcome.
Please RSVP Erin Kaven @ 385-7499 by April 5th.
