But, there is more to see inside.<\/p>\n<p>Lights and decorations can be found in the casino and food court. Families can enter at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildhorseresort.com\/family-funplex\/\">FunPlex<\/a> doors and view the displays in the common area.<\/p>\n<p>According to Liberty-Traughber, Wildhorse went to the schools this year and asked if students could make ornaments for the trees. With help from teacher Gita Webster, boxes of ornaments were produced in response. Participating schools were Sherwood, Washington, McKay and Pendleton Early Learning Center as well as \u00c1taw Miy\u00e1na\u0161ma Daycare.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was such a fun project for us,\u201d Liberty-Traughber emphasized. \u201cIt was so much fun pulling the ornaments out of the boxes and seeing the variety and creativity that went into every ornament. We truly appreciate the effort that teachers and students made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple trees standing in the food court colorfully display every ornament received. Children are welcome to come in with their families to see if they can spot their own ornament.<\/p>\n<p>Quaking Aspens Lanes is currently closed and there is no access to the bowling area or arcade but the restaurants continue to operate with limited hours and for takeout only.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Wildhorse Resort &amp; Casino:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Centrally situated between Boise, Spokane and Portland, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildhorseresort.com\/\">Wildhorse Resort &amp; Casino<\/a> is a premier destination for family getaways, business meetings and large conventions.
