Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. Include <br />any plans for ticket sales, event sponsors, and other cost -recovery models. <br />The strategies for making the Festival self-sustaining are: <br />a. Increase event participation through marketing and word of mouth (the Festival has seen steady growth <br />since its inception in 2013). <br />b. Continuously improve the event experience. This begins in October 2016 with the move to the <br />prominent and large Roslyn Yard. For 2017 it will include a Coal Mines Trail Bike Excursion and prominent <br />beer awards. <br />c. Increase revenue wherever possible. Ticket sales have been the primary revenue source for the festival <br />and admission fees will be raised once the event exceeds 300 participants. Sponsorships also will be a <br />priority, as will expanded merchandise sales. <br />Additional information: Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging <br />Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your project and its benefit to tourism.
