On July 8, 2001 the City of Mullens was inundated by the most destructive flood in its history, On July 8, 2008 the residents marked this event by formally commencing one more project that demonstrates their determination to invigorate a once thriving community. Volunteers, led by the Mullens Mayor and City Commissioners, had been preparing for the arrival of their fifth AmeriCorps NCCC Team that helped construct an Outdoor Entertainment Center where local music and performing arts can be exhibited.
