Looking for a holiday gift for family or friends, or perhaps new neighbors at Lake Panorama? Consider purchasing one or more copies of “Lake Panorama – The First 50 Years.” The book, authored by Susan Thompson, was published in 2019 in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the Lake Panorama Association.
The full-color, hardcover 112-page book includes both historic and contemporary photos. Chapters in the book describe six decades of planning and development. There are special topic chapters on Lake Panorama’s golf courses, infrastructure and water quality efforts. Sidebar stories highlight various groups and activities such as Lake Panorama ski team, Fin and Feather, Fourth of July fireworks and more.
The LPA financed the book’s production. About 1,000 books were printed, and now about 60 books remain in stock. Each book costs $25, which includes tax.
Books are available for direct purchase at the LPA front desk Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and in the Lake Panorama National Resort pro shop during business hours. Purchases can be made at the LPA and LPN via cash, check or credit card.
The book also is available at the Panora Library, with purchases cash or check only. The library has two copies of the book available for checkout.
LPA will ship at an additional cost of $5 per book. Once ordered online, books will be shipped from Panora in seven to 10 business days. Here is the link to order online and have one or more books shipped: https://lakepanorama.formstack.com/forms/order
