Response 1: ProjecVEvent Description * Ellensburg Rodeo Hall of Fame (ERHOF) has a museum that is open to the public year around. The museum inducts new members that are participants of rodeo's past every year for our ongoing displays to promote the history of the Ellensburg Rodeo. We are a separate non-profit organization rn coordination with the Ellensburg Rodeo. Our project is to develop an lnduction Ceremony that will draw the supporters and advertise our museum to the public. Because the rodeo draws people from far and wide who are involved in the rodeo we will hold this event in close proximity to the Labor day weekend to draw people here at an earlier date lo come to Ellensburg and enjoy the multiple activities going on all week. ln 2021 we decjded to try an initial event at Spirft Therapeutic Riding Center, an outdoor arena that allows for up to 300 people to attend. Our plans were made when we felt the pandemic was lifting but in the end we modified as the resurgence began to alter the state rules for gatherings. We advertised with posters. newspaper ads, newsletters to our membership. sent out postcards and used Facebook and lnstagrant to get the word out. We offered a dinner prepared by the Cattlewomen of Kittitas County and a production of our 2 new lnductees and their history with the early Ellensburg Rodeo_ We had an attendance of 125 people. 30 of these were from more than 50 miles away. We promoted our museum and the padners we have in Kittitas County. ln 2022 we can see so many ways to broaden this event to bring more people as we feel the pandemic should ease and life by Labor Day week should allow for more attendance. The feedback we received from our supporters was very positive and has lead us to believe we can be more successful next year. ln 2022we will bring in more lnductees and broaden our scope of advertising and offer western entertainment io enhance the experience. Our board feels thai this event will bring people to Kittiias County all year around as the word gets out about our museutll that is open all year long. ?5i10 characler !i[]il Video Link Plelrse prqvide os link io a b,ief \tideti srlnrnary of yo! orga,rizlii:or's evetrl;'proiec1.
