ANSWERS TO THE 2017 LODGING TAX FUND APPLICATION <br />5.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
