Attachment <br />To <br />Special Use Event Application <br />For Even on May 21, 2017 <br />RE: Your Canyon for a Day Bike Tour <br />Yakima County Gine Stoppers, Inc. <br />DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY AND EVENT AT THE YAKIMA CANYON MAY 19, 2013 BY THE <br />YAKIMA COUNTY CRIME STOPPERS' "YOUR CANYON FOR A DAY BIKE TOUR" <br />The Yakima County Crime Stoppers' "Your Canyon for a Day Bike Tour" is a fun ride designed for the <br />whole family to enjoy the Yakima Canyon without any through traffic. This is Yakima County Crime <br />Stoppers' only fund raiser with the funds to be used for rewards paid out to tipsters who are instrumental <br />in the apprehension of felons. This will be the tenth year we have sponsored the bicycle tour in the <br />Yakima Canyon. We had approximately 1,000 riders last year with over 50% of them starting the ride at <br />the Yakima River RV Park in Ellensburg. The majority of our riders come from the Westside of <br />Washington. <br />We will be using the Roza Recreation site and the Yakima River RV Park as our staging areas for the <br />bicycle ride. The riders will leave from the Roza site or the RV Park and travel north or south on SR 821 <br />then turn around at Thrall Road or the Roza site and return the their staging site. The RV Park and the <br />Roza site will mainly be used for participants to park and unload/load their bicycles. In the NE corner of <br />the Roza parking lot we will also be selling concessions as we have done in years past. Coca-Cola may <br />be providing a small trailer which will be at the concession site to dispense soft drinks with all profits <br />going to the Yakima County Crime Stoppers. Even though we have worked with the Department of <br />Transportation to close SR821 to through vehicle traffic, we understand there will be others using the <br />canyon and we will be sharing the facilities at the Roza Site with them. <br />We will be providing the following: <br />1. Portable toilets (8 total) <br />Two at the Roza site (both with hand sanitization equipment and one for handicapped access). <br />One at Big Rock rest site. <br />One at Umtanum/Big pines rest site. <br />Two at Thrall Road site (both with hand sanitization equipment and one for handicapped access). <br />Two at Yakima RV Park. <br />1 <br />
