What tools will you use to measure your event's impact on tourism? Please be specific <br />and provide examples. Include the following information: <br />I. Is your project/event year-round or is it seasonal or date -specific? <br />II. What strategies will you employ to assure you are attracting tourists from <br />at least 50 miles away? <br />III. What strategies will you use to assist in marketing all of Kittitas County as <br />a tourist destination with your event/project funding request? <br />Jy project is date specific twice a year. Because of the date being one in spring and one in <br />all my marketing will be key to the strategy to marketing the whole County. Some things I <br />vill point out is that my website will like the tourism campaigns of Ellensburg, Cie Elum and <br />he County and I will have links to accommodation locations county -wide. I will also partner <br />vith fellow events such as Huffman Farms,Thorp Mill Antique Show, and others. <br />.astly, the assurance that all my efforts are quantified; I will do a few different things. First <br />vould be the survey I have been doing for the past few years to see where the shoppers <br />:ome from and what are they doing while in town. Second I will partner with the Chamber <br />)f Commerce to send an electronic survey to all the followers of the tourism campaigns; <br />racking if they came to my event, did they stay the night, if so where and what did they do <br />vhile in the area? <br />4. Does your organization have, or have you applied for, grant funding from other sources? <br />If not, why not? If yes, please list the available funding you have for the project, <br />including any volunteer and in-kind sources, and/or the sources and amounts for which <br />you have applied. Please note which funding sources are secured and in hand so a true <br />matching fund determination maybe determined. What changes would occur if the <br />project couldn't be funded? <br />Junk-tiquen in the Burg has not applied for any grant funding from other sources. A number <br />of volunteer hours will go into the shows, resulting in an estimate total hours of 352 hours L <br />$28.99 per hour as referenced by independentsector.org. Not being a registered non profit; <br />I do not qualify for many grants that are available. <br />If funding is cut due to preference I will have to evaluate location, marketing costs, and even <br />if the two dates are self sustaining. When that occurs I will evaluate the options. <br />County -wide Lodging Tax Application P a g e 1 11 <br />
