Great place to come together as a community, lots of space, clean, and well taken care of.
Terribly HOT in the conference room! So hot I almost passed out! Everyone was fanning themselves with anything they could find that would help a little. But out in the lobby the air conditioning was flowing cold. We're not in the lobby all day we're in the conference room!
Enjoy visiting here attending events.
This place is huge and hosts lots of event. We love the Datk Market and Saturday Farmers market!
Busy every weekend with some kind of event. Big facility with a variety of spaces from big open arena and animal barns, that can be cold in inclement weather, (and older restrooms) to an indoor exhibit area, warm and cozy and spacious, with nice new restrooms. Also big grassy open field for outdoor meets.
For a smaller county, the center itself is a good size and well-kept though it can seem fairly empty and lifeless. I recently attended a music records expo at this event center and I was pleasantly surprised by how much they were able to fit into one of the bigger rooms. Parking is solid and not far.
Always clean and great events
January. 4-8pm Indoors was cooler than outside until it reached room capacity.

Beautiful bathrooms. However the handicapped toilet is not ADA compliant.
Participated in the UKC Classic dog show here the first weekend in August 2024.
There were a large number of participants here involved in a number of dog activities. A lot of the open field areas were set up showing dogs in conformation or doing coursing events. Other activities included weight pulling, obedience, rally and agility as well.
The grounds are kept in pretty nice shape there were lots of large shade trees in one of the areas across from the large main structure. There are also hookups with electricity for RVs and trailers and additional areas where tents could be set up.
Unfortunately it does not offer any shower facilities and there are only two bathrooms in the arena area. So if you're going to be tent camping you're going to be roughing it.

Big enthusiastic crowd, great performance and music. Very enjoyable.
Relatively small, but clean and well maintained event facility. Needs better f&b facilities

They had a great setup of several of the local schools' artists... Everything from photography, to drawing / painting, ceramics, students from 7th to 12th grade. Very well set up easy to navigate and no admission.
