Oak Realty was again part of the annual Maple Lake St. Patty’s Day parade on Saturday March 14th! The weather was beautiful, the candy was flying, and we managed to capture some great photos with our new sky camera. This is a camera that can extend up to 60 ft. and takes amazing aerial pictures. Maple Lake puts on a great parade every year and this year was no exception!

Charlene making those kids very happy!
So, last year in the parade we thought we had plenty of candy and ran out half way through. This year we decided to double our candy amount and ended up with roughly 44,000 pieces and still ran short! Watch out next year and bring your big bags because we will have 44,000 more pieces!

Thanks to the owners of the vehicles for allowing us to use them for the parade. We had a blast in Maple Lake and look forward to attending in 2010!
