This year the Columbia River Cowboy Gathering will change locations, and move to the TRAC PAVILION in Pasco WA.

To find the TRAC Pavilion, take the Road 68 Exit off of I-I82. We think the new location will give us room to grow. Some of the Positives; It's easy to find, Great lighting; Parking is closer to the building, and great potential for future growth including events and entertainers with Horses. There is so much business within FIVE minutes of the TRAC Facility, like Wal Mart is just 3 minutes away and lots of restaurants and shopping close by.
