Hundreds turned out for the 24th anniversary celebration of Chinook Winds Casino Resort Saturday night to watch fireworks on the beach in Lincoln City.
Families gathered around beach fires and drones were in the air for a steady pounding that started shortly after 10 p.m. and culminated in a finale that left the crowd cheering.
Traffic was snarled leaving the event, but the smiles and laughter of citizens walking to their cars was indicative that everyone enjoyed the show.
