We will identify affinity <br />events happening during the same time of year in Kittitas County as a way to identify <br />opportunities to extend stays before and after the event. <br />Traveling to Kittitas County in the spring is one of the best times to visit our area. We <br />will follow the rules of the contract on our marketing items with appropriate logos. <br />and will also work to increase attendance by encouraging other activities while here. <br />KEEN will use our social media accounts to share and cross-post recreation, <br />farmers markets, wineries and local breweries to the same audience. Birders travel <br />thousands of miles to add to their 'life lists' and our festival will fall right in beiween <br />two complimentary festivals - the Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival in late April and <br />the Leavenworth Bird Festival in late May. <br />Birders plan thejrtravel calendars to engage in as many birding opportunities as <br />they can, and this festival in May is the best time to see colorful, diverse and rare <br />bird species in the Canyon. To the extent possible, we will cross post to these other <br />festivals and gain audience and ad reach that way.
