APPLICATION QUESTIONS <br />1.) Huffman Farms launched its month-long Pumpkin Festival style festivities in 2013. We <br />are a u -pick pumpkin patch, open every Saturday and Sunday in October, offering the <br />following for both the young and young at heart: <br />■ Pumpkins straight off the vine <br />■ Gourdy's Corn Maze <br />■ Hayrides <br />■ Petting zoo <br />■ Pony hop races <br />■ Jack's Kid Zone <br />■ Pumpkin chucking <br />■ Duck races <br />■ Farm fresh food from the Farm Kitchen Cafe <br />■ Gift shop full of fall decor and seasonal items <br />New this year, we are introducing our Friday and Saturday night Haunted Forest and <br />Corn Maze. In order to gauge interest, we did a "soft launch" in 2014 on Thursday and <br />Friday nights. It was such a success that we are launching it this year on what are <br />expected to be far busier nights, with twice the frights! <br />While there is some overlap, these two traditional fall festivities attract distinctly <br />different guests, broadening the overall appeal of Huffman Farms and increasing the <br />chances of an overnight stay. Targeted guests include: <br />Saturday and Sunday day time events attract: <br />• Families <br />• Grandparents <br />• Couples <br />• College kids who grew up attending pumpkin patches with their families <br />Friday and Saturday night events attract: <br />• Families <br />• Middle and high school aged kids <br />• Groups (i.e. sports groups, church groups, clubs, etc.) <br />• College kids <br />Grant funds will be applied to all marketing efforts that extend 50 -miles beyond Ellensburg, as <br />well as any local efforts that allow for an allocated amount. Our marketing plan includes, but <br />may not be limited to: <br />County -wide Lodging Tax Application P a g e 110 <br />
