In 1919, the Legion Pavilion Company, Inc. built a dance hall/ballroom in Memorial Park. The original building was added on to or remolded in 1947, 1972, 1976 and 1990. It was quite small in comparison to the present building. Some of the music talents who have performed at the ballroom include Conway Twitty, Lawrence Welk, Chubby Checker, Whoopie John, Elmer Scheid, Frankie Yankovich, and many local bands.

​

The ballroom was a wooded building - like a barn - and the bar windows were operated with a pulley system. Benches were located alongside the dance floor. Dances were only held on Wednesday and Sundays each week – two date nights - many local couples met there.

In 1946, after World War II, the American Legion Post 45 assumed operation of the ballroom and named the ballroom after Charles Borak, who was killed in World War I.
