The ODPC (Original Dulcimer Players Club) is the oldest, and largest hammered dulcimer organization in the world. This club is Michigan based, but boasts members throughout the world. The biggest endeavour of the year for the ODPC is the annual Funfest at the fairgrounds in Evart, MI.

The ODPC was announced as one of the winners of the prestigious Great Lakes Community Arts Award for 2004. This is Michigan's highest award for arts agencies. The award (a lovely original painting) was presented at the festival. Great Lakes Arts Award
