Response 2.3: 3. or from another country or state outside of their place of residence or business. <br />Projection * A marketing campaign partnership via Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce and <br />Genesis Marketing will be geared at reaching customers in Washington, Oregon, <br />Idaho, and Utah. Through the marketing campaign we hope to reach national <br />audiences with True West Magazine. <br />Spirit of the West is a unique event that also provides opportunities for vendors to <br />come from all over the region. Idaho, Oregon, and Montana are some of the states <br />that have been reached out to and invited several vendors. Vendors will be at the <br />festival for the three days and some bring their families out as well. <br />Marketing efforts via social media will also be focused on attracting visitors from <br />outside the state. With Spirit of the West taking place during the offseason many <br />spectators from the North West view it as an opportunity to get out and visit <br />Ellensburg. <br />2500 character linit <br />Response 2.3: Hotel information was received from Hampton Inn with 2 room night stays and <br />Evidence* Quality Inn with 16 room night stays for a total of 18 confirmed room night stays. <br />The Kittitas Valley Event Center confirmed 15 overnight camping stays. Due to our <br />limited information regarding room night stays from hotels/motels in the area during <br />the weekend of the Spirit of the West, our true total number of overnight stays is <br />unavailable and limited to only 33 confirmed.
