Response 1: <br />ProjecVEvent <br />Description * <br />The Kittitas County Hisiorical MuseLrm has a new and fun idea to help drive visitors <br />to not only spend the night in our county, bul increase sales for locai businesses. A <br />county-wide scavenger hunt will feature clues based on Kittitas Couniy history, local <br />points of interest, and artifacts held within the Museum; and will enhance brand <br />awareness and visibility for the Museum th.ough these items and creating and <br />broadening unique partnerships between the Museum and business partners across <br />Kittitas County. This will include online video production and distribution; printed <br />nraps to tour local businesses and areas in Kittitas County; social media marketing, <br />newsletter production and distribution: and website updates. <br />Each week for 52 weeks, clues will be given leading scavenger hunt participants to a <br />new business padner somewhere wrthin Kittitas County. Clues will be provided <br />through videos promoted on social media, which will link back to the website where <br />all the clues and previous scavenger hunts will be available for anyone to play at any <br />time. Those padicipating will be asked to find a logo of the Museum within the <br />business. then take a photograph of tlremselves with the logo and post it on a social <br />media platform using #VisitKCHM. lhen each month, someone will be drawn from <br />those who submitted their photographs with the hashtag to win a gift certificate for <br />$200 <br />Social media posts, website updates, and the newsletters would all promote the <br />scavenger hunt along with highlighting ongoing activities of ihe Kitiitas County <br />Historical Museum and the clues given. Each week will also promote the business <br />partner, hopefully leading to individuals visiting and spending money at that location <br />There has been documented success with other programs at the Museum and we <br />anticipate this same success extending to the new scavenger hunt activity. Our <br />friends at the Tacoma Historical Museum and Clark County Historical Museurn have <br />also seen success with sinrilar programs. Additionally, this plan is focused on <br />sharing information and encouraging individuals to explore Kittitas County and its <br />history while staying safe in these uncedain times. Since 2020, many of our plans <br />have been cancelled as indoor rules and regulations keep changing. By sharing our <br />locai history in these new formats, we intend to draw interest in the cornmunity from <br />individuals from the entire western United States who may be planning upcorning <br />trips or are interested in history and our community. <br />254i0 .Jraracier lirnil <br />Video Link Please p.o,ride us litrk lo a brie[video sur]mary of you orgJlization's everilprojecl.
