Response 3 C: C. What strategies will you use to assist in marketing all of Kittitas County as a tourist destination with your Measuring Results' event/proectfunding request? With events such as Buskers in the Burg and Dachshunds on Parade, we cross promote Wth the Kittitas County Farmers Market and promote other events to increase the value added to all events giving visitors more to do when they arrive. The Buskers in the Burg festival guide also promotes upcoming events such as Mantastash Metric Bike Ride and Ellensburg Film Festival. Hometown Holidays focuses on promoting county wide events because we believe that bringing people to any area of the county increases their chances of staying the night and exploring other areas while they are here. We will also list the county wide tourism website on our website along with event information and utilize the hashtag #Live Life In Color in our social media advertising. 2500 character lir it Application Questions: Part 3 41 Collaboration If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations, groups, or other events, how is this accomplished?
