Lake Creek Winterfest concert raises funds for LC Ladies Board in Storm Lake

Lake Creek Winterfest will transform the Buena Vista University Golf Course at Lake Creek Country Club into a fundraising concert venue on Saturday, Jan. 17, at 6:00 p.m. The event, hosted at 1 Club House Dr., Storm Lake, will charge a $5 cover and directs 100% of those proceeds to the LC Ladies Board.

The headline act for the evening is Flashmob, listed as the performing band. Organizers are asking potential attendees to use the event page’s Notify and Ticket buttons for updates and information. The modest entry fee and the promise that all cover charges go directly to the LC Ladies Board make the event accessible to a wide cross-section of the community while keeping the financial benefit concentrated on the local nonprofit group.

Small, community-based fundraisers like this serve multiple local functions: they generate restricted revenue for volunteer boards and service groups, provide low-cost entertainment that keeps spending within the local economy, and bring people together in off-peak months for social activity. At $5 a head, the math is simple: every 100 attendees would translate to $500 in direct support for the LC Ladies Board, while ancillary spending on food, drink, and services in Storm Lake can multiply that local economic impact. For a county where modest donations and volunteer labor sustain many civic amenities, those sums matter.

The event’s timing on a winter Saturday evening may also help local restaurants and late-night businesses by increasing foot traffic near the country club. For Buena Vista University and Lake Creek Country Club, hosting public, fundraising-facing events can reinforce ties between collegiate, recreational, and residential communities in Storm Lake.

Practical details: Lake Creek Winterfest begins at 6:00 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 17, at the Buena Vista University Golf Course at Lake Creek Country Club, 1 Club House Dr., Storm Lake, IA 50588. The cover charge is $5; organizers say 100% of that amount will go to the LC Ladies Board. Visitors should use the event page’s Notify and Ticket buttons for the latest updates.

For residents, Lake Creek Winterfest is a chance to support a local fundraising group, enjoy live music from Flashmob, and keep winter dollars circulating in Storm Lake. If turnout is strong, the dollars raised and the extra evening activity could provide a tangible boost to small-scale community projects and nearby businesses in the weeks ahead.
