Our History
HOLCOMB RECREATION COMMISSION HAS BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 1978.
WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE FIRST OFFICE LOCATED IN THE OLD POST OFFICE BACK ROOM. WE MOVED TO THE INDOOR SWIMMING POOL INSTRUCTORS OFFICE, THEN TO A CLOSET AREA IN THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL. WE SPENT TWO YEARS IN A MOBILE HOME THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BROUGHT IN FOR THE GRADE SCHOOL CLASSROOMS. IN 1983 WE WERE ABLE TO BUILD THE FRONT PART OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER. THE SCHOOL BOARD GAVE US PERMISSION TO TAKE ANYTHING WE NEEDED FROM THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL TO BUILD THE COMMUNITY CENTER BEFORE IT WOULD BE TORN DOWN. EVERYTHING IN THE FRONT PART OF THE COMMUNITY CENTER FROM THE SINKS TO THE LIGHT FIXTURES WERE PUT TO USE. THEY HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR TWENTY-ONE YEARS AND ARE STILL WORKING GREAT. THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE FOR THE COMMUNITY CENTER WAS KEPT TO A MINIMUM AND MANY DOLLARS SAVED BY REUSING ITEMS FROM THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL
TWENTY-ONE YEARS LATER YOU STILL CAN SEE THE EFFIENCY OF RECYCLING FIXTURES IN THE RESTROOMS, BOARDROOM AND OFFICES AS THEY CAME FROM CLASSROOMS AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL ALUMNI NOTICE THE BOARD ROOM DOORS AND RECOGNIZE THEM FROM THE OLD HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY.
WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THE FACILITIES WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER OVER THE PAST TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS.
