ODC TO FILL OPENINGS
The Odebolt Development Corporation, the group responsible for Creek Days, will have an organizational meeting on Wednesday, August 3rd at 7:00 p.m. at the DownTown Cafe.

The ODC is looking for some energetic, community-minded people to fill openings on Creek Days subcommittees.

The ODC board oversees Creek Days, whereas each subcommittee is responsible for organizing an individual event.  Current subcommittees include parade, beer garden, car show, mud volleyball, and demo derby.  In addition, the board would like to add other subcommittees such as kids' activities, etc.  All subcommittee members for Creek Days 2011 as well as anyone interested in being a part of Creek Days 2012 are encouraged to attend.

If you are interested in joining a subcommittee but are unable to attend the meeting on August 3rd, please contact Jason and Beth Wulf.  Becoming involved with a subcommittee is an easy and rewarding way to serve your community and help continue the proud tradition of Creek Days.
