The Murals

Five historic paintings grace the east walls building. The murals were painted by Scott Winey, owner of Blue Space Creative, Charter Oak, Iowa and two of his assistants. Below are four of them.  The fifth, not pictured, is Odebolt's historic bank.

Many other historic photos of Odebolt and the area can be found throughout the building.
             

Fund Raising

The Odebolt Community Center was completed with the help of the many civic-minded volunteers who recognize the vital importance of the OCC to the future of our community.

Donations are being accepted to continue to make improvements on the building and provide funding to keep operating overhead low.  This will allow the Center to charge very low rental rates for events held in the Center which in turn will keep these activities in our community, instead of going to other communities.

If you are a business, individual, alumni, or just a friend of the Odebolt area, please think about giving a donation.  It is tax deductible.

The Odebolt Community Center board of directors appreciates your consideration and looks forward to hearing from you.

Help maintain the OCC!  Print the DONATION FORM

Please make your tax-deductible donation payable to:
Odebolt Community Center
P.O. Box 279
Odebolt, IA 51458
