PL PTA Scores a Donation

In appreciation for the Pequot Lakes Parent Teacher Association volunteer support for the Brainerd Lakes Chamber's Market in the Park events this summer, the Whitefish Area Lodging Association has donated $750 to the Pequot Lakes PTA.

The Brainerd Lakes Chamber's Market in the Park offered a variety of free weekly activities in downtown Pequot Lakes during the summer which were designed to motivate travel to Pequot Lakes and encourage vacationeers, seasonal residents and residents to stay, shop and dine in the community.

In addition to shopping dozens of vendor booths set up in the park, hundreds of children and their families participated in the games weekly, which included a bobber hunt and bobber bowling.

The Whitefish Area Lodging Association is a group of lodging properties located in the jurisdictions of the City of Crosslake, Ideal Township, City of Jenkins and Jenkins Township that collect a 1% lodging tax from their guests. The dollars generated from this tax are used to support marketing efforts that benefit the entire Whitefish Chain of Lakes area.
