If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations,groups,or other <br />events,how is this accomplished? <br />Collaboration*We have collaborated with many organizations including Kittitas County,CWU, <br />FAA,WPA,KVFR,DNR,and others to bring a cohesive and unified statement to <br />the public about the importance of a viable airport in Kittitas county.The Fly-In is <br />the beginning to this new and exciting future for Bowers Field. <br />This was initially accomplished through addressing the Kittitas County Aiport <br />Advisory Council about our ideas.This initial conversation has spawn a renewed <br />interest in many of the organizations listed above and the first public event will be <br />held October 5,2019.This event is that kick off for the 2020 fly-In and brings in our <br />state representative Tom Dent and many others to speak about the future of <br />aviation in EIIensburg. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />5|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*We don't expect this event to be truly self-sustaining for a few years.With the <br />amount of work needed at Bowers Field to facilitate large crowds and larger <br />aircraft,this event will be slow to mature.Our vision,through the renewed spirit of <br />Bowers Field and future economic growth,we can develop an event that draws <br />1500 spectators the first year.Within 3 years,we hope to see 4000-5000 <br />spectators over the weekend with over 100 airplanes,food vendors and multiple <br />live music performances.We will be working closely with Moses Lake,and other <br />airports who have revived air shoes and operated Fly-In's for many years to help <br />us grow this event.Eventually ticket sales,concessions,live music and corporate <br />sponsors will be able to sustain a Fly-in event.We also believe this event will help <br />boost the economic development of the airport which will in-turn provide other <br />sponsors and revenue streams for the event. <br />2500 character lirrit <br />Application Cluestions:Part 4 <br />6|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 250Dcharacterlirrit <br />Supporting Documents You rmy upload any supporting docurmnts such as graphs,irmges,diagrarra,rmrketing roterials,etc. <br />You are allowed to subnit up to 3 single page (US Letter)documents in JFO FU or llFFforrmt <br />7|Previous Lodging Tax Grant Information <br />Previous Years Has your event received Lodging Tax funds in previous years? <br />Awarded Lodging Tax G No,this event/project has not previously received Lodging Tax Funding. <br />Grants C Yes,1 year previous <br />O Yes,2 years previous <br />C Yes,3 or more years previous <br />How many participants and spectators attended last year's activity and/or will attend <br />this year?
