Application Questions <br />1. Please provide a description of your project/event and identify the specific tourism <br />audience/market that your organization will target with these funds. You must include an <br />itemized list of exactly how any grant funds awarded will be utilized. <br />We are proposing a Canine Festival to be held in Roslyn's Runje Field. The first year, we hope to bring <br />in a DockDogs competition, and a vendor fair. Spectator admission will be free and open to the public. <br />Entertainment will be lively and family friendly, including music, announcing, and possibly a Log Show <br />Exhibition. In future years, we would like to expand this event to include other canine athletic events. <br />The funds requested in this grant will pay for the cost of bringing in Puget Sound DockDogs to run a <br />competitive dock diving event with 4 disciplines including distance, height and speed. These funds will <br />also pay for the advertising necessary to draw competitors from outside Kittitas County. Please see the <br />proposed itemized budget below. <br />Roslyn Event Application Fee <br />$ <br />250.00 <br />Event Insurance <br />$ <br />500.00 <br />Puget Sound DockDog Fees <br />$ <br />6,800.00 <br />Advertising <br />$ <br />1,000.00 <br />Porta -Potties <br />$ <br />400.00 <br />Total Amount Requested <br />$ <br />9,000.00 <br />2. Please provide the following estimates of how any money received will result in increases in the <br />number of people traveling for business or pleasure on a trip: <br />C-1.0 I. Away from their place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid <br />, 5 t accommodations; <br />II. To a place fifty miles or more away from their place of residence or business for the day <br />or staying overnight; or <br />III. From another county or state outside of their place of residence or business. <br />You must provide the evidence utilized in determining your projections. <br />We have used the Puget Sound DockDogs' membership list to create the following expectations for <br />attendance. Puget Sound DockDogs includes members from Alaska, Canada, Arizona, Oregon, Montana, <br />and Washington. Of the 124 of teams, 2 of them are located in Kittitas County, making up 1.6% of <br />proposed attendees. At Issaquah Salmon Days each year, this organization fills their event with roughly <br />400 registrations, and 100 teams. According to these calculations, that will bring roughly 98 people plus <br />friends and family from outside Kittitas County to Roslyn for three nights, including gas, meals, supplies, <br />and lodging. Additionally, we anticipate vendors and volunteers will also come from outside of Kittitas <br />County as well. We are therefore conservatively estimating 120 people at $86 per day for a total of <br />$10,320 brought into Kittitas County this year. <br />3. What tools will you use to measure your event's impact on tourism? Please be specific and <br />provide examples. Include the following information: <br />All teams and vendors will be required to register for the event either on-site or ahead of time. The <br />zip codes from these registrations will be compiled to measure the number of out -of -area registrants. We <br />will also conduct a visual survey of the competitor's area to establish an average number of visitors per <br />registrant as many people bring their family and friends with them. <br />1. Is you project/event year-round or is it seasonal or date -specific? <br />
