Include any plans for ticket <br />sales, event sponsors, and other cost -recovery models. <br />Future Plans* As of 2018, we now have a rotating entertainer application. We have had the same <br />entertainers for 10 years. We are providing an opportunity to revolve our <br />entertainers so that the show is more exciting and attractive to consumers. We <br />have also evaluated our vendors and what we can do differently to spice it up a bit <br />for the weekend. We have tried different venues and determined which venues <br />work best for the FREE concerts. We also have look at ticket pricing and taken <br />those changes and compared to make a more informed decision. <br />We are ever so changing on what changes to make to make the festival weekend <br />more enjoyable and in the end clearing costs and leaving enough to put on <br />another show. <br />We have sponsorship opportunity for those that want to continue supporting the <br />event and festival. This will help with the cost -recovery. We have started to review if <br />we need to be 2 day or stay 3 days. It is always something that we have to be <br />mindful of. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />Application Questions: Part 4 <br />61 Additional Information <br />Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your <br />project and its benefit to tourism. <br />Additional Information 2500 character lirrit <br />A <br />
