Oak on the Water PLEASANT LAKE, ANNANDALE, MN
keeping the tradition alive
THE TRADITION There's something to be said about traditions and our rich history, and Oak Realty loves both! The people of Seneca used to celebrate Genundowa (Festival of Lights) where lake fires of tobacco were lit and lined the shorelines to express gratitude for being saved from the Great Snake and for a bountiful harvest, good hunting, and fishing. 2019 marked the first year Oak Realty created and organized their
own spin on the Festival of Lights. The residents of Pleasant Lake along with some wonderful volunteers, Dingmann Marine and Oak Realty joined forces to bring this fantastic tradition alive by providing LED flares for all property owners on Pleasant Lake. The year 2020 may be a bit different with the historic celebration along with the fireworks being canceled. For the residents of Pleasant Lake, it's a perfect time to show your spirit and light up your flares.
Independence Day
Annandale knows how to celebrate!
ANNANDALE'S HISTORIC 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION The show must go on...Annandale's 4th of July celebration began in 1889 with visitors from neighboring villages and surrounding counties attending the festivities. With growth of this newly found village on the rise, the annual celebration played a big part in putting Annandale on the map. Fast forward to present time, Annandale is certainly the place to celebrate our independence with many making our
small town their destination spot! The well-known history and traditions of this small town have always been embraced and kept alive by the community. The Heart of the Lakes, as it has long been called, is a wonderful lake country area that attracts young families and retirees. It's a charming small town with great schools and endless recreation. Many who once vacationed here now live here full time, and it's no wonder why. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 Annandale's 4th of July Celebration is canceled, we will all look forward to it's return in 2021!
