(For example, if there vras a survey conducted for the prior year, elplain the methodology. For the projections, <br />what are they based upon and how is that basis justified?) <br />Projected * <br />325 <br />2017 and 2018 Bird Fest overnight data r,ras collected through an online survey <br />sent to all attendees and strategically extrapolated based on ticket sales address <br />data. <br />We had a low response to our online survey after the eveni in 2018. We believe <br />this is due to the fact that our event attendees are over 65 for the most part and <br />are not accustomed to completing online surveys. <br />For 2A20, r,ve will ask the question about overnight stays on the registration <br />form so that rae don't have to rely only on a survey after the fact. We will also <br />conduct in-person surveys during registration pick up (every event attendee is <br />required to come to the registration tent at Helen McCabe State Park to pick up <br />their registralion packets). <br />Registration data is attached from 2018. This reflects registration of just the ticket <br />buyer - most buyers purchased at least 2 or more weekend passes and other ticket <br />types so it does not refleci ihe total number of attendees, but does reflect the <br />distance traveled to attend the event. <br />2500 character linil.
