In 1966 Hitchcock Industries bought 1,400 acres of farmland in southern Lakeville Township. This property would become Airlake Industrial Park. The location had easy access to I-35 and would be connected to the railroad system and a new airstrip. The development of Airlake Industrial Park compelled the City and Township governments to join together so, in 1967, the City of Lakeville was born. That year, Hitchcock Industries and the City held the first Panorama of Progress, or Pan-O-Prog, to highlight the progress and celebrate the opening of Airlake Industrial Park.Pan-O-Prog is planned and executed each year by TEAM PAN-O-PROG. TEAM PAN-O-PROG is a 100% volunteer led planning committee and subcommittees governed by a Board of Directors.Volunteers work year-round, and represent various community organizations and businesses1991 was the 25th annual festival and featured the first full carnival.
