WOW Hall

Community Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) was founded by a group of dedicated volunteers who saved the WOW Hall from destruction in 1975 with a WOWathon where musicians performed nonstop for one whole weekend.  This generated enough money to make the down payment and later in 1978, the mortgage was paid off. The building was the original site of the Woodmen of the World, a fraternity that supported timber workers and their families, built in 1932.  The WOW Hall is known for its amazing dance floor and is one of three “floating” dance floors in Oregon.  For decades, the WOW Hall has featured diverse performances and offered community space for classes, workshops, lectures, meetings, rehearsals, recording sessions, and events.
