Our Mission
“To be a self-sustained leading provider of event facilities and services in Southwest Washington through the delivery of competitively priced, customer-focused products and services.”
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
Nice place. Forgot to take pictures
Great venue for a wide variety of things. . . From dog show events to craft & trade fairs!
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

She had a wonderful time there. Great job Kelso class 2024

Went to Sasquatch festival it was pretty lackluster. But still had a great time with family. Parking was a bit of mess with no one directing traffic but once we park it was easy to find entrance.
I had a great time at the event there!
Great venue for events 🖤❤️
I went to an auction there. It was fun bought more than I should have but it was fun and the people were great. Everyone should go just for the fun of it.
I enjoyed the Canterbury In bizarre, I a super Nintendo system, controllers, game pad/mat. I also bought 2 card holders for playing card games, caramel kettle corn.
