Future Plans *The Reception on Friday night wll be a private funclion to thank and recognize the donors that contributed to the construction of the New Kiosk and llalian Monument. The resi of the events will be open to the public including the dinner on Saturday night. Every year there is a family friendly celebration on Saturday night of Memorial Weekend with cultural food, music, and dancing. This is held at Hawthorne Hall in Ronald and is a self-sustaining event through ticket sales, food & drink sales, and donations at the event, We are asking for funds this year in anticipation ihat this venue will be too small based on our estimated attendance. This venue also doesn't have an option to become an outdoor event if there are still Covid-19 restrictions in place particularly concerning indoor events. We are planning on renting the Putnam Centennial Center in Cle Elum where we can rent a large event tent providing more room for attendees. lf the Living History Performances by the Boulet Theatre Group are a success this could become it's ouin event with ticket sales sustaining it financially. The Memorial Day Ceremony that occurs on Monday of Memorial Day is already an annual event but does not require any funding. 2500 character linit Application Questions: Part 4 6l Additional lnformation Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your project and its benefit to tourism. 2020 lnformation lf you had a planrred event in 202C, whellrer it was able 1r: take place or l1lt, please describe any successes arrcl challenges ytl experierl:ed. Because \,e were not able to have large gatherings on Memorial Weekend this year we decided to scale back our eveni to what had been done in past years with a hospitality tent. Our new kiosk structure was finished enough to allow us to set up tables and ptovide coffee, ualer, individually r,rnapped cookies, and Covid related safety materials (masks, hand sanitizer, etc) during Memorial Day weekend. We also provided flyers for people to take home that included information on our new Digital Kiosk since it nrasn't installed yet. Visitors are able to access the ra,ebsite that is associated with the Digital Kiosk using a home compuler. On Saturday, historically the busiest day for visitors during that vreekend, we set up a laptop connected to a very large screen so that u,e could showexamples of howthe new Digital Kiosk trr,orks. Many visitors stopped, even if just for a brief moment to take our flyer. We had prinled 50 flyers wtrich r,r,e quickly distributed so we went back to Wapiti Office lo get another set. After the u,eekend we only had a handful of fliers lefi so we handed out almost '100 flyers over the course of that weekend. Usually there was one flyer handed out per group. 2500 character liril Additional lnformation We were able to share our project with others vja Social Media.
