East Delta Hall

the McKee Athletic Association, a community-minded group of volunteers who carry on the work begun many years ago by the found families in East Delta. The original lumber for the structure was milled from logs harvested in the area of Delta now known as Sunshine Hills. Local farmers, George and Lester Embree hauled the logs to a planer mill on their East Delta farm and construction began in the early 1930's. Piles driven by a horse-operated trip-timber pile driver prepared the site. and with the hard work of many local volunteers the project ws completed later that year. among others, these included construction foreman Leonard Dennis and helpers George, Cyril and Lester Embree, Bill Oliver, Albert Huff, Albert and Harry Weaver, James Kelly, and John McKee. The Hall was almost slated for demolition following an arson fire in early 1993, however the present generation of volunteers decided that reconstruction was the better option, and the result is a fully modern, completed restored facility available for community and commercial events. Full kitchen facilities, plus considerable capacity for dances, wedding or other events make the East Delta Hall an ideal location for a wide range of private functions. Originally built to accommodate community church, social and athletic events, the Hall now serves a much wider community with completely modern facilities in what is still a rural setting. Patrons appreciate the large parking lot coupled with easy access to and from the surrounding area. Thanks to the hard work of our pioneer families and the determination of a new generation of volunteers, the East Delta hall is still a familiar landmark on #10 Highway
