Include any plans for ticket <br />sales, event sponsors, and other cost -recovery models. <br />Future Plans* Our estimate is that the new extensions for this ongoing event and utilization of the <br />grant funds available will increase our turnout from 200 guests to 400+ guests <br />during the course of the 3 Day event. At some point if we our classes and lectures <br />become full and we feel that ticket sales wouldn't be detrimental to overall turnout <br />we would begin charging for admission. <br />The net gain for the county in capturing another 200+ visitors however is too great <br />for us to charge admission at this point. <br />After a few successful years with additional funding support we would pursue ticket <br />sales and possible sponsorship from manufacturers within our industry. The first <br />step is to reach the ceiling on event capacity. <br />2500 character limit <br />Application Questions: Part 4 <br />61 Additional Information <br />�J <br />Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your <br />project and its benefit to tourism. <br />Additional Information Our business is based on tourism and we have a proven track record of 15 years <br />here in bringing customers from outside the area to visit this valley. Historically our <br />business has focused on offering guided services for fly fishing. <br />We are making a strategic shift towards educating consumers on how to utilize our <br />public lands for fly fishing, rafting, wingshooting, and general outdoor enjoyment. <br />This will allow consumers to increase the number of days per field (since they now <br />have the skills to be un -guided), which results in more visits to Kittitas County, and <br />the win for Red's is hopefully to convert more families into sports that we outfit retail <br />gear for. <br />Ultimately we are promoting lifestyle changes for many families that are outdoor <br />curious and would like to do it in Kittitas County. Where its dry. Most of the time. <br />Although this event is date specific it will have an impact felt year round. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />
