Future Plans*KEEN increased sponsorship levels, vendor's fees. and other cost-covering fees for <br />participation in 2O18. 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 that 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 io <br />keep ticket prices low and find income fronr other sources. We are considering a <br />'donation'ticket price instead. The committee is discussing many options. <br />As happens in the bird-watching world, once an event is established. birders start io <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 characler liBril <br />Application Questions'.
