with event organizers. For Recreational Riders the visitor days and % non -local data is collected
<br />from day -user registration forms and seasonal passes; number of visitor overnights from stall
<br />rentals; reasonable estimate of number of people camping versus staying in a hotel (these
<br />numbers are conservative). For Events, the number and zip codes for all participants are
<br />supplied by each event organizer; this base data is then multiplied by 1.5 to 3 depending on the
<br />type of group to project total attendees [Central Washington University conducted an
<br />economic study in 2006 of over 40 horse parks across the country. The CWU findings estimate
<br />3 people (including trainers, grooms, family, spectators, staff, volunteers, vendors, etc.) attend
<br />an event for each horse/participant, and that assumption seems reasonable for many groups
<br />based on our experience managing the Park to -date.]

<br />This chart reflects strong but slowing growth without the Covered Arena, because the Park's
<br />largest shows have reached its capacity until more arena space is added, and inability to attract
<br />more large events without a covered competition arena.
