Welcome to our “Then and Now” Summer Discover

When we made Cedar Creek Lake our home, thirty-something years ago, it was a group of tiny towns surrounded by fields and it seemed every field had cows. The roads were all two lanes and a farmer hauling a load of round bale hay could tie things up for what seemed like forever.

How things have changed! We have four lane highways to take us quickly where we need to go, new buildings have replaced the old and technology is everywhere!

But here in the Cedar Creek Lake area, we have something special. We have a little bit of the old country way of life mixed in with the new. We have our lives in our phones, but neighbors still wave to each other on the road or stop to chat in the aisle of the grocery store. We move at a faster pace, but we still have that hometown feel, that hometown pride.

We want to celebrate the good changes, the positive perks technology has brought to our lives. This issue highlights how industries and businesses have changed us, from how we buy a car to how we build a new home. We celebrate the new businesses that have opened in our area and welcome the newcomers who have moved in to make Cedar Creek Lake their home. Our lives are better and richer because of the new and grounded and full because of the old.

Come along with us and allow us a bit of nostalgia as we highlight Summer at Cedar Creek Lake!
