Attachment To Special Use Event Application For Event on May 17, 2020 RE: Your Canyon for a Day Bike Tour Yakima County Crime Stoppers, Inc. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY AND EVENT AT THE YAKIMA CANYON MAY 17, 2020 BY THE YAKIMA COUNTY CRIME STOPPERS' "YOUR CANYON FOR A DAY BIKE TOUR" The Yakima County Crime Stoppers Your Canyon for a Day Bike Tour" is a fun ride designed for the whole family to enjoy the Yakima Canyon without any through traffic. This is Yakima County Crime Stoppers' only fund raiser with the funds to be used for rewards paid out to tipsters who are instrumental in the apprehension of felons. This will be the tenth year we have sponsored the bicycle tour in the Yakima Canyon. We had approximately 425 riders last year with over 50% of them starting the ride near the Yakima River RV Park in Ellensburg. The majority of our riders come from the Westside of Washington. We will be using the Roza Recreation site and the Yakima River RV Park as our staging areas for the bicycle ride. The riders will leave from the Roza site or the RV Park and travel north or south on SR 821 then turn around at Thrall Road or the Roza site and return the their staging site. The RV Park and the Roza site will mainly be used for participants to park and unload/load their bicycles. In the NE corner of the Roza parking lot we will also be selling concessions (pop and chips) as we have done in years past. Coca-Cola may be providing a small trailer which will be at the concession site to dispense soft drinks with all profits going to the Yakima County Crime Stoppers. Even though we have worked with the Department of Transportation to close SR821 to through vehicle traffic, we understand there will be others using the canyon and we will be sharing the facilities at the Roza Site with them. We will be providing the following: 1. Portable toilets (8 total) — provided by Valley Septic who drop off and pick up their equipment Two at the Roza site (both with hand sanitization equipment and one for handicapped access). One at Big Rock rest site. One at Umtanum/Big pines rest site. Two at Thrall Road site (both with hand sanitization equipment and one for handicapped access). Two at Yakima RV Park.
