Collaboration * We have partnered with the Washington Horse Park since we began in 2014, <br />working closely with Leslie Thurston, the director. Having the Park as our venue <br />has brought much needed attention to the Park, as many people didn't knowthere <br />even was such a thing in Cle Elum and defining it's location. Daniel Beard, of <br />Daniel Beard Rodeo, has also been our stock contractor from day one. He <br />provides the stock (horses, calves and bulls) and gates, panels and chutes for the <br />venue. Eagle Valley has also been by our side from the beginning as a partner, <br />providing much needed "theater" type seating, which the spectators find very <br />comfortable. Coke -a -Cola and Crown Royal have joined in as partners with our <br />involvement with PRCA. They were present this year with soda and water as a <br />vendor and Crown Royal was only available in the VIP tent. Since the other <br />companies that are associated with PRCA now know w/e are on board, more will <br />follow for 2019. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />51 Future Plans <br />Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. Include any plans for ticket <br />sales, event sponsors, and other cost -recovery models. <br />Future Plans* With membership in PRCA, comes increases in sponsorship as sponsors like to be <br />linked to the professional cowboy scene. We saw some of that this year, but it <br />would be reasonable to assume we would receive an increase in interest for 2019. <br />Even though we are now PRCA, we are still are at the bottom of the ladder as a <br />small rodeo. Every year we try to learn and make each year better than the year <br />before. With that however, comes more expenses, such as the mega-tron we <br />provided. The sponsors were impressed to see their business on the huge screen. <br />Luckily, there are also some expenses that we will not need to repeat this next <br />year. Those total almost $14,000, which helps with our budget for this upcoming <br />year. Ticket prices have not been decided yet for 2019, but will be considered. <br />2500 character linit <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 With increases in attendance, comes the issue of parking further and further away. <br />One of our board members, wfho owns High Society Transportation LLC, provided <br />van service to shuttle spectators to and from their vehicles this year, Mich was <br />much appreciated by all. The VIP tent returned this year in a grand way, with a .3 <br />spired tent that provided much appreciated shade, free food, seating in the center <br />of the arena, along with the closest parking available. A Jackpot also returned this <br />year since it was a big success last year. There were over 90 entries with a 70% <br />payout. The spectators enjoyed watching the local cowboys and cowgirls, while <br />they enjoyed the day competing with and against each other. All of the attendees <br />were able to enjoy the band that was playing all day until the beginning of the <br />rodeo which was the first year of providing that. <br />2500 character limit <br />Supporting Documents You rray upload any supporting documents such as graphs, images, diagrarrs, marketing materials, etc. <br />You are allowed to submit up to 3 single page (US Letter) docurrents in JPG, FDF or TTFFformat <br />71 Previous Lodging Tax Grant Information <br />
