It seems like just yesterday when a big patch of scrappy land outside of Pendleton contained the vision of some gutsy entrepreneurs who wanted to build a casino and entertainment complex.  20 years later, it's still going strong.

I had a chance to talk with Al Tovey, who's the event coordinator among many other hats worn at Wildhorse.  We spoke about the history behind the place that's become a destination for gaming, entertainment, and just plain getting away for people all over the Pacific Northwest.

Wildhorse plans a number of events to celebrate their anniversary, including one of the biggest fireworks display shows in the entire Northwest March 14th.  They also are ramping up the winning, with a Let It Roll $80K promotion, with $20,000 given away each week.  A complete lineup of musical entertainment is also planned, and you can see all the details on their website.

Listen to our talk with Al about the history and efforts it took to get the project going in our interview. Some of the backround will amaze you, and make you realize these founders had quite the vision that has succeeded
