ANSWERS TO THE 2017 LODGING TAX FUND APPLICATION <br />S. Collaboration: <br />Our word is strong when it comes to a county wide campaign <br />commitment. We are represented at the Roslyn and Ellensburg <br />Famers Market, both by our presence and links to social media. <br />Our individual addresses and community presence is well <br />established in Cle Elum (Swiftwater), City of Kittitas (Thrall & <br />Dodge Winery), and Ellensburg (Gard, Spring Board, Brix, ECW & <br />The Ellensburg Distillery). We are local and we are loyal. We have <br />developed very strong ties in the Valley. Many of us have Barn <br />Quilt Art, we all participate throughout the entire year in the <br />numerous events going on in our area. Kittitas Burn Out, Jazz in <br />the Valley, Rodeo weekend etc. and dedicate one entire panel of <br />our wine trail brochure that lists county wide, year long events. <br />One noteworthy collaboration is between Thrall & Dodge Winery <br />and Tasting Room and the Brew House Boarding Vacation Rental <br />Suites in downtown Kittitas. Having a tasting room and overnight <br />accommodations in the same building has been a win-win <br />situation. Attached is a letter of support from Brew House <br />Boarding. Please note that the total number of overnight stays <br />for this year totals 76! All guests receive information about our <br />Vintners Association and are encouraged to visit all tasting rooms. <br />The majority of these bookings, said given the choice, they <br />specifically choose these rooms because of the close location to <br />visiting tasting rooms and vineyards as compared to a downtown <br />or county wide accommodation option. <br />Kittitas Valley Vintners Page 10 of 13 <br />
