PENDLETON โ€“ People can get wild in Pendleton again this summer. Chamber of Commerce CEO said that last yearโ€™s successful campaign to attract visitors was never intended to be a one-and-done event.

โ€œWe came into this with the understanding and idea that this is something we want to continue,โ€ she said. โ€œWe want to be a destination for folks, especially during the summer months.โ€

Rosenberg said that the groups who got together last year are already meeting on a weekly basis and are looking for support.

โ€œWeโ€™re putting sponsorship packets together,โ€ she said. โ€œThatโ€™s one way weโ€™re going to be sustainable.โ€

Rosenberg said that last summer they invested $100,000 in marketing the weekends and expect to spend about the same amount this year.
