About Oakland Park, Florida
Oakland Park, officially the City of Oakland Park, is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. Originally named Floranada (a blend of Florida and Canada), the town was forced into bankruptcy after the hurricane of 1926. When the municipality reincorporated in 1929, residents chose to make it a city and voted for the name Oakland Park. Oakland Park is home to Funky Buddha Brewery.29] [30]. The brewery also supports many of the City's events, such as the annual Oakland Park Oktoberfest [1]. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?
