A Grand Opening of the DeKalb County Community Center is set for Saturday, June 23 from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.
County Mayor Mike Foster said everyone is invited to stop by to see the complex which includes a spacious new stage and auditorium, complete with a state of the art sound system and lighting; a game room for kids, a fitness room, a gym for playing basketball or volleyball, and a community kitchen called the “Internet Café”
Tony Luna, Assistant Complex Director, said refreshments and snacks are being donated by Bumpers Drive-in (Shrek to make an appearance) and there will be lots of door prizes including a few free memberships to be given away. “We’ll give away five free monthly memberships and a yearly membership to some lucky guy or gal who signs up. In our auditorium, we’ll have some LIVE entertainment at the stage. Starting at 10:00 a.m., my daughter, Mercedes Luna and Daniel Martin will start first. They play a lot of acoustic stuff and I think you will really like it. Right after Mercedes and Daniel, we’ll have another local band 11:00 a.m., Burning Years. They will take the stage and play for us about an hour or so. After that, we’ll have another LIVE band around 12:45 p.m. 61 Seconds, which is a local band and they will close us out. All of these bands are local people and it’s free,” said Luna.
“The whole facility is going to be open on the community center side of the building,” said Luna. ” If you haven’t seen the game room, we’ve got it altogether now. I would love for you to come out and see it. Our fitness room is up and going. We’ve booked over ninety members now. They’ve just hooked up surround sound, so you never know what kind of music we’ll be pumping in there for you to work out to. Come see our Internet Café. Eventually we’ll have a concession stand, where people who work out or just people who want to come and hang out can do that. We’ll have a TV in there. You’ll be able to buy snacks and drinks out of the community kitchen.. Everybody come out and see us. Like us on facebook. We do have a facebook page. Its DeKalb Community Center and fitness room,” said Luna.
