Away from their place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accommodations; <br />2. To a place fifty miles or more away from their place of residence or business for the day or staying overnight; <br />3. or from another country or state outside of their place of residence or business. <br />You must provide the evidence utilized in determining your projections. <br />Response 2.1; 1. Away fromtheir place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accormndations; <br />Projection * Projection- The typical attendee will stay the entire weekend, they will arrive on a <br />Friday night and stay through Sunday, usually requesting a late checkout if staying <br />in a local hotel/motel or vacation home. Because the festival hours are scheduled <br />for later in the evening the attendee will seek out other activities to compete their <br />stay, such as dining out at local establishments; shopping in nearby municipalities <br />(including Ellensburg); or other morning/evening events and activities such as <br />outdoor recreation, movies, concerts, or the theater. The same visitors will <br />purchase gas, meals and/ or groceries, and mementos of their stay in Kittitas <br />County. <br />E Suncadia will offer such packages as Stay and Play (overnight stay + resort <br />credit)to encourage festival attendees to stay one or more nights. <br />I- Suncadia will offer other activities such as Summer Concerts, late night movies, <br />specials at the Glade Spring Spa„ to entice guests to stay longer <br />Although difficult to quantify due to the "no admission fee" nature of this event, we <br />estimate the attendance for this event to continue to grow each year. We estimated <br />300 visitors attend the first Art Festival that was held on July 15, 2017, and are <br />confident that we wall exceed that number in 2018. The event is an outdoor event <br />but does provide ample tenting and indoor venues should weather be an issue. <br />Additionally, we plan on adding new attractions such as <br />• performing artists <br />• art organizations <br />• wane tasting <br />• art classes <br />• late night entertainment such as live bands <br />New attractions will attract new users. It is vital that we keep developing this event <br />to encourage tourism to the community. <br />2500 character linit <br />
