Response 3 C: C What strategies will you use to assist in marketing all of V6ttitas County as a tourist destination with your Measuring Results * event/project funding request? "Historic tourism" is one of the financial arteries of Roslyn. Its historic status and general ambiance draw hundreds of visitors to the region during both summer and winter months. Having a focus on arts encourages visitors to go into businesses and spend money in Roslyn. We will use that as a lure to get people to Kittitas county and encourage them to visit historic and art sites county. We will have continue to work with other art businesses in the county to co -promote our events. 2500 character limit Application Questions: Part 3 41 Collaboration If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations, groups, or other events, how is this accomplished? Collaboration * RTown Community has a strong relationship with Gallery One in Ellensburg, as wel as the High Country Artists in Cie Elum; we work together to advertise one another's events.
