41 Collaboration <br />If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations, groups, or other <br />events, how is this accomplished? <br />Collaboration * We are forming a partnership with Chinook Entertainment LLC to provide the <br />entertainment, hire the bands, set up stage, lights, sound, and manage all of that <br />technical portion of the event. They will arrange to have a minimum of four bands <br />from around the northwest. These will be selected by the partnership and chosen <br />to provide a wade appeal and as much as possible, bring the bands followers to our <br />event. <br />Chinook Entertainment will also prove to be a powerful partner in this event, <br />bringing years of experience and relationships with businesses and individuals in <br />central Washington to our benefit. <br />We also work closely with one of our Cideries - Ellensburg Canyon Winery - on <br />marketing, event planning, outreach and other activities. The owner is on KEEN's <br />board of directors. <br />In addition, KEEN partners throughout the year with several local non-profit groups <br />and is a member of the Chamber of Commerce. <br />2500 character limit <br />51 Future Plans <br />Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. Include any plans for ticket <br />sales, event sponsors, and other cost -recovery models. <br />Future Plans* KEEN aims for Sustainability in all our events. We have been running Get Intimate <br />with the Shrub -Steppe for nearly 20 years, the Winter Fair for 10 years, and have <br />ongoing and regular events in the community. We will do the same for Cider Fest <br />and aim for cost recovery through ticket sales and sponsors. In addition, we plan to <br />expand the event in next year or two, add an educational conference day to the <br />event, possibly a chef -hosted dinner cooking with cider to the evening ahead of the <br />event. We could also add Orchard tours and build our partnership with <br />WSU/Extension. <br />2500 character limit <br />Application Questions: Part 4 <br />61 Additional Information <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 Attached is the proposal from Chinook Entertainment for entertainment, and the <br />Genesis Marketing proposal for advertising. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />Supporting Documents You may upload any supporting documents such as graphs, irrages, diagrams, marketing rraterials, etc. <br />KEEN Cider Festival 2018 advertising.pdf 17.19KB <br />2018 Cider Event _Option B.pdf 394KB <br />You are allowed to subrrd up to 3 single page (US Letter) documents in JFQ FDF or 11FFformat <br />71 Previous Lodging Tax Grant Information <br />
