Box 429 Mt. Lake, MN 56159 Phone: 507-427-2725 Fax: 507-427-2724 Friday-Tuesday fun The Mt. Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and various Pow Wow committees, are now ready to roll for this year’s 79th Pow Wow. From its beginning in 1923 to today, Pow Wow has been integral to a Mt. Lake summer — set in the central location of Mt. Lake City Park. It was 90 years ago that the first Pow Wow was held. The event was named by Frank Balzer, following the lead of a “Pow Wow” festival held at the college he attended — Carleton College in Northfield.
