History
One of the more interesting bits of history surrounding the Center is that in the late 60's it was a concert venue, Desiderata Cabaret. In the '60's Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Elvin Bishop, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Buffalo Springfield, Iron Butterfly, Young Bloods, Tower of Power, Eric Burdon, Van Morrison, Country Joe and the Fish, and Muddy Waters played here. Tickets to those concerts were $3.50 at the door. The building was remodeled and reopened in 1988 to become the public building it is today. Now days we hold a variety of events including meetings, community fundraiser, weddings and conferences all take place at the Center throughout the year. We would love to hold concerts again.
