Welcome to the Harveys Lake Homecoming

August 6-8, 2010

HOMECOMING MEANING

Harveys Lake will be celebrating its annual Homecoming on August 6, 7, and 8, 2010. The Homecoming is about the spirit of the past, present and future residents of the Lake.

The older residents recall what the Lake was like before it became a popular resort. It was nothing more than people living their lives in the only way they knew. It was about being self-sufficient and doing what had to be done to survive the cold winter months where roads were not plowed, there were no stores to stock up and people helped each other and waited for next spring.

Then the population began to grow and there were more full time residents in the Borough. Changes began around the Lake and the public services to the residents began. A new type of community began to grow.

Today we have our present community. There is full time police coverage, a full time road department, administrative staff to keep the new Borough functioning.

This is the spirit of the Homecoming, to celebrate the growth of a small community into year round population. So come and join the celebration of a village of pioneers that eventually became the Borough of Harveys Lake.
