If any additional costs are incurred, the fees 'Nill <br />be increased to cover them. We believe that if we start this as a consistent and <br />annual event in Ellensburg, we 'Nill be able to attract more local food and supply <br />vendors to our vendor show area, and we could potentially offset some of the <br />annual costs through fees charged for that space. <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 .
