Future Plans* <br />Application Questions: Part 4 <br />KEEN increased sponsorship levels, vendor's fees, and other coslcovering fees for <br />participation in 2018. As the event grows we believe that our sponsorship levels will <br />increase and we will attract more vendors over time causing this to continue to be a <br />revenue positive event for KEEN ihat will soon become self-sustaining. <br />We want to keep ticket prices low overall, so will increase'add-ons'to the event. <br />Special speakers, workshops with CWU professors, art activities downtown, and <br />more. Most other bird fests do not charge an 'entry' ticket so it is important for us to <br />keep tlcket prices low and find income from other sources. We are considering a <br />'donation'ticket price rnstead. The committee is discussing many opiions. <br />As happens in lhe bird-watching world, once an event is established, birders start to <br />look for event details earlier and earlier. We have already contacted Living Bird <br />Magazine and posted the event on our website and FB pages. <br />2500 character linri! <br />6l Additional lnformation <br />Provide any additional information which will assist the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in evaluating your <br />project and its benefit to tourism. <br />COVID-19 lnfOrmatiOn It you had a planned evenl in ?020 or 2021. vvhetlrer lhey were able lo take place or rrol. please describe any <br />successes and challenges you experjerced. <br />The 2020 and 2021 events were cancelled due to covid. <br />We held snrall online outreach events encouraging people to get outside and <br />birdwatch in iheir own areas. <br />You m.ly upload any sapporting docu[renls silch as grapbs iorages. diagran]s, Darkeling ntalerials. {ttc. <br />Bird Fest Poster - big format final.jpg 1.82MB <br />You are allowed to sriblril up lc 3 sin.tle paqe {US i,etter} dociim€nts in,JPG. pDF or l-lF-F foimiri <br />7l Previous Lodging Tax Grant lnformation <br />25t10 characte. litrrit <br />2500 characier lirnilAdditional lnformation <br />Supporting Documents <br />Previous Years <br />Awarded Lodging Tax <br />Grants * <br />Overall Attendnace <br />Past Actual * <br />250 <br />l-laS your dvelrt recei'red l-odging -Tax fttlrlS jn previous years? <br />., No, this event/projeci has not previor.rsly received Lodging Tax Funding <br />'r: Yes, 1 year previous <br />; Yes, 2 years previous <br />Yes, 3 or more years previous <br />Projected * <br />400 <br />Number of people travelling more than 50 miles for your event? <br />PastActual* Projected* <br />196 375
