Reviews
We attended the Noel Christmas program Saturday night. The program was absolutely wonderful and beautiful. And not what wee were expecting to see. The event center probably hosts a lot of livestock/animal type events. As we entered and waited on the dinner part of the event to begin, the aroma of barn dung hung heavily in the air. Wow. We wondered what we had gotten ourselves into. But if Mary could give birth in a barn and Jesus could lay in the castles manger, we could handle the smell for a couple hours. But when we sat down the the dinner being served by the Amish women of the area, there was no offensive barn odor. We enjoyed -thourougly enjoyed - the dinner and the Christmas show presented that evening. It was such a an enjoyable event, we are looking forward to next Year Christmas celebration program.
Went there to meet my brother from Michigan. They had a horse auction going. Bleacher seating was comfortable. The place is absolutely huge.
We were here for the Majestic Noel again this year. This was our 6th year and we love attending this show. The facilities are wonderful and are perfect for large events.
Went to enjoy the Noel Christmas show. It was a very fun and enjoyable time. The event center has great seating. Parking was free and close.
A fantastic place and rodeo, we just saw a Christmas play with camels and horses and it was fantastic. We highly recommend this place. Outstanding!
First time at this venue...watched 6 horse hitch championship finals, which moved along very organized and quicky..only down side was arena size was a bit small for this particular event..otherwise, excellent facility for equine events
Beyond our expectations. The grandchildren and grandparents loved it. A top notch show.
Just amazing.
Well done!
Went for a consignment tool auction. There was a horse auction going on at the same time. It's a great place to go for big events.
