Cities several times the size of Lebanon would be justifiably proud to have a facility of the caliber of the Cowan Civic Center. So, it’s not surprising that Lebanon’s residents just about bust their buttons when talking about the CCC.

Opened in 1998, the Cowan Civic Center bears the name of Kenneth Cowan, Lebanon’s late mayor and the man whose idea it was. The CCC is much more than a place to meet. A 46,000-square foot exhibition hall hosts such events as ice shows, rodeos, conventions, and trade shows. The hall can seat 6,500 people.

A 675-seat theatre is used for everything from theatrical productions to musical concerts to corporate seminars. Both the theatre and exhibition hall feature state-of-the-art acoustics and lighting.

On the sports side, the CCC is equipped with an NCAA approved lap pool and a gymnasium with a regulation size hardwood basketball court. Adjoining the gym is a room with a rubber “sports” floor, used for tennis, volleyball and walking. A wellness center includes treadmills, stationary bicycles, and a weight machine. A one-mile fitness trail is located just outside.

The Cowan Civic Center also has three small meeting rooms, which can be combined with the Grand Foyer for meetings, receptions, and banquets.
