== Rolle Bolle == [[File:Victor Rolle Bolle Court and Mural.jpg|thumb|Victor Rolle Bolle Court and Mural]] Victor is home to two [[Rolle Bolle]] courts, one indoor court at The 214 Bar and Grill and one outdoor court next to the post office. The yard game originated in Belgium (where it is known as krulbollen) and was brought over by Belgian immigrants to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th century.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Servants of the Land|last=Amato|first=Joseph A.|publisher=Crossings Press|year=1990|location=Marshall, MN}}</ref> It is still played today by many Victor residents as well as in the nearby towns of [[Belle Plaine, Iowa|Belle Plaine]], [[Clutier, Iowa|Clutier]], [[Marengo, Iowa|Marengo]], [[Ladora, Iowa|Ladora]], and [[Blairstown, Iowa|Blairstown]]. === Victor Rolle Bolle Mural === The Victor Rolle Bolle Mural overlooks Victor's outdoor courts. From 2014 to 2016, about a dozen HLV students used black and white paints to replicate four photos, which they combined into a single image. The completed mural was unveiled during Victor Fun Day, June 25, 2016, just before the start of the tournament.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.press-citizen.com/story/news/local/victor-hlv/2016/06/28/victors-rolle-bolle-heritage-preserved-mural/86492450/|title=Victor's Rolle Bolle heritage preserved with mural|website=Iowa City Press-Citizen|language=en|access-date=2019-07-02}}</ref> From left to right, the people depicted in the mural are: Bill Stevens, Camiel Holevoet, Cyril Wauters, Julius DeBrower (bolling), Daisken Cornelius, Camiel DeGeeter, Camiel DeHooge, Alfonse Van Gampleare, Daisken Cornelius, John Claeys, Henry Ahrens, and Bob DeWitte.
