This event builds upon this tradition as <br />we develop the scavenger hunt, and increases exposure for both parlies. As we <br />highlight each business, we will add information and local resources to our website, <br />promotion through social media accounts, especially as facts about businesses or <br />additional materials found in the collection about the area in which the business is <br />found: through the videos. website, and newsletters encouraging individuals to <br />complete a scavenger hunt in an area - and enabling individuals to play at any time. <br />Through all this, individuals will be encouraged to visit, stay, and shop locally. <br />Museum information, such as exhibits, will also be updated to include facts as <br />applicable to the campaign for cross-proinotion. as well as any available brochures, <br />information and photographs provided to the business, and any ways to collaborate <br />or cross-promote further through exhibit and programming partnerships. <br />Museum staff and volunteers also provide word of mouth recommendations ancl <br />print materials at the nruseum for individuals interested in local lodging <br />establishments, restaurants, and businesses. <br />2500 characler litrrit <br />4.3 Host Hotel*ls there :r hosl holel 1or your ev.tni <br />"r <br />qranl Droled'? lf yes. lisl tlre hotel. <br />aNo <br />Yes. <br />5l Future Plans <br />Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining, lnclude any plans for ticket sales, <br />event sponsors, and other cost-recovery models.
