The Murals
The historic paintings of the old railway depot, Cracker Jack Popcorn
Company, the old school house, and a scene of Adams Ranch (Fairview
Farm) 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.

murals
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!
