On Sunday,August 6,we had an Art Festival Booth up at the Roslyn Farmers Market.We had large maps of the state country and world posted and asked visitors to our art booth to 'pin'where they were from.Our count was 321 people from western Washington cities,84 from Eastern Washington cities over 50 miles away,106 people from other states and 28 people from other countries.Please see page 12 for a detailed chart. It is difficult to say for sure how many people came to Basecamp Boks and Bites just to view the art,but we know the average daily patron count is about 200.The Roslyn Artists Guild had art up in six businesses throughout2016.Our continuing challenge is to judge how many people came to view art or to purchase goods or services from the respective businesses.We are working on a contract with another non-profit in town to secure a specific building for a gallery and arts center,but the process has been slow. 3.Tools and Marketing StrategiesMeasure Impact on Tourism Tools:We will use volunteersto count the number of people who attend the Arts events. We will also distribute surrey to the 16 business owners in town who own stores or restaurants and ask four questions:How many people entered your business this afternoon? Of these people,estimate what percentage was new to you?Estimate how many lived outside Roslyn?Estimate how much money your business made today? Page 3
