Thanks to you

The Eastern Oregon Trade and Event Center (EOTEC) was completed in the fall of 2017. The EOTEC committee and our building partners did a tremendous job securing sponsorships for the new event center and rodeo grounds.

The complex includes an event and exhibition center with an exhibit hall, three meeting rooms, a board room, a full kitchen, a half kitchen, and a common lobby area. All rooms include the very latest in audio/visual technology.

The outdoor grounds include a rodeo arena and grandstands, three livestock barns, an indoor arena, a large common area, grass fields, asphalt grounds, and plenty of shade trees.

Sponsorships allowed EOTEC to build meeting rooms, supporting spaces, and rodeo facilities cost-effectively, and provide the community with an indoor/outdoor event center in a centralized location. For more information on EOTEC, please contact Al Davis, General Manager at 541.289.9800 or adavis@eotechermiston.com.
