<br />growth,especially due to the addition of the covered arena.
<br />*The economic impact dollar assumptions used in the Metrics Table for 2014-17 were from the 2015 Dean Runyan
<br />Report courtesy of the Kittitas COunty Director of Tourism.The 2018-19 impacts were calculatd using Dean
<br />Runyan data for 2017 as provided by the Chamber CEO
<br />Special Note:we host two very large hunter/jumper shows that combined run for 14 days and attract a very well-
<br />healed clientele.Based on information we've gathered from surveying this population,about 40%of those who
<br />stay overnight rent expensivevacation homes in Suncadia,Roslyn Ridge and elsewhere locally.We determined
<br />from a local vacation rental agent the average house rental price and #bedrooms;we assume 2 people per
<br />bedroom which results in $61.50/night/person for accommodations plus other daily expenses we estimate at $50,
<br />for a combined assumption of $111.50/person.This assumption was applied to 40%of this unique segment of
<br />overnight show attendees (versus the $51/day assumption for "other"overnight provided by the Dean Runyan
<br />Report.
