Response 3 C: C What strategies will you use to assist in marketing all of t4ttitas County as a tourist destination with your Measuring Results* event/project funding request? The Museum seeks funding to support advertising for general awareness of its exhibit rotation, the lecture series, walking tours, and special events. The advertising links our projects to ongoing projects and events in the county in order to provide a wider audience. The exhibits connect with places, people, events and activities throughout the County. One event in 2020 is the "Women's History Month: Notable Women in Kittitas County's Past" exhibit. This looks at various women throughout Kittitas County, including all communities and all ethnic groups and cultures that have been part of Kittitas County. It includes all groups and historical moments, past and present. It incorporates our lecture series, walking tour program, other organizations and partnerships. It also includes a secondary exhibit on Mary Ellen Shoudy, the Mother of Ellensburg. Another exhibit similarly is on the 40th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. This tragic event tied the community together and impacted more than just one area. It is still covered today and can be viewed upon local landscape. This will also be reflected in the lecture series and through partnerships with the university and area museums. There are other events that are collaborated with throughout Ellensburg and Kittitas County. For example, we partner with organizations like the Roslyn Museum, the Roslyn-Ronald-Cle Bum Heritage Club to further develop our cemetery projects and community connection. We also try to include information in our exhibits about other displays, like with Cie Elum or Vantage to direct visitors to those museums or areas for more information. Our Lecture Series includes presentations on various aspects of Kittitas County history, such as geology, Native American history, and interesting tidbits of local lore and legend. Presenters encourage the participants to visit locations throughout the County, and brochures are provided to further encourage visitors and event attendees. The Walking Tours also highlight community history. Often the tour guides discuss the surrounding communities, and we provide copies of self -guided walking tour maps for Cie Bum and Roslyn Cemetery for those who participate. We also correlate information in Ellensburg to that of its neighboring communities, such as our Haunted Legends discuss Thorp and Roslyn. We also share posts on social media, highlighting and promoting local exhibits, events, and activities help to further interest in Kittitas Co. 2500 character lirrit Application Questions: Part 3 41 Collaboration If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations, groups, or other events, how is this accomplished?
