Collaboration*Our collaborations include working with Chinook Entertainment and Chinook Fest, <br />and mutually beneficial relationships with twelve regional cider houses,a local <br />winery and a local craft brewery. <br />WSU's Master Cidermaker program has proven to be a great partner,and will <br />increase their involvement for 2020.KEEN is a member of the KCChamber of <br />Commerce and our all-volunteer board brings connections with CWU,conservation <br />groups and downtown business owners.CWU Recreation and Tourism program <br />will again be supportive,as will the Craft Brewing program. <br />Expected and hoped for but not realized yet is a partnership with the North West <br />Cider Association,the US regional organization promoting apples,growers, <br />cidermakers and distributors from the Northwest throughout the nation.With them, <br />Cidercraft,and WSU,we will be solidly set as a leader of cider events. <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 will do more research and identify more sponsorship deadlines,to secure <br />partnerships of that nature earlier., <br />Ticket prices will increase incrementally,and we will offer more facets that will <br />attract more attendees. <br />Keeping great musicians is critical,and balancing what's affordable with what's <br />exciting and attractive to ticket buyers,will continue to be something that we <br />monitor closely. <br />CiderCraft/Sip and NW Cider Association have both indicated that they would <br />support (sponsor)a juried/competitive program,which would attract the very <br />highest quality products from around the State.NW Cider Assn may help us <br />negotiate the pathways to being able to offer out of state products.Beverage <br />competitions charge entry fees,and that would increase our income and boost our <br />cachet.Which in turn would make us more attractive to sponsors. <br />2500 character limt <br />Application Questions: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.
