4l Collaboration <br />lf your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations, groups, or other events, <br />how is this accomplished? <br />4-1 Collaboration*ln 2020 and 2021 we have not been as active in collaborating as we would have <br />liked and have done in the past. Covid and staffing shortages have significantly <br />impacted our ability to reach out to maintain and form new alliances. <br />ln 2021 we discussed collaborative opportunities with the Downtown Association <br />director and hope to pursue some of those ideas in 2A22. We believe the covered <br />arena can provide a unique venue for community activities, and a more conducive <br />setting for some businesses to have a presence at the Park. <br />We also will contact the Chamber's new tourism and events director to explore ideas <br />about how the Park can partner with other organizations and events in the coming <br />year. <br />2500 character liB;1 <br />4.2 Promoting Local <br />Business * <br />Describe hour yolr will p.onrole lodging establislrnenls reslairra[ts, and busifiess located rn Kiililas Cou,]ty <br />We distribute information about the local communiiy and activities at the two major <br />vrsitor traffic points at the Park: our registration booth and the show office.
