Exploring the History of Lake Wales
Take a trip
to Lake Wales and you'll quickly learn there's
more to this Polk County town than just Bok
Sanctuary. As our Russell Rhodes found out, the
history of Lake Wales includes many stories,
including those you'll hear about their
railroads.

Orange You Glad You Went to Lake Wales?
Dave
Osterberg wouldn't pass up a gig like this. He
got the chance to tour Florida's Natural Grove
House and get a look at how the delicious juice
makes its way into your refrigerator. Did we
mention there were samples?

Charley's World: Florida Skydiving Center
It's
Hometown Friday in Lake Wales, so we thought it
was the perfect opportunity to send Charley's
World flying high. Charley checked out Florida
Skydiving Center-- but there's only one catch.
He's not taking his feet off the ground for this
one. (Fox13

Going Back to Bok
We've
been
there
before,
but
there's
nothing
like
going
back to
the

Sanctuary.

Rhodes
to
explore
the
amazing
tower
and all
it's
history.
