4.2 Promoting Local <br />Business* <br />Describe how yqu y/ill pronlole lodging establishrilents restarranis. and l)Llstress locatled in Kittitas Cortrrty <br />The very nature of our event creates a draw for ihe whole couniy, which benefits <br />businesses of all types (i.e. restaurants, hotels, shops. etc.)_ <br />Specific ways we promote other businesses include rnaking space available for <br />makerslgrowers to sell their products and promoting those businesses by <br />highlighting them on our social media platforms. And, while Covid has impacted <br />many of our direct partnership efforts (for example. Pape (formerly WA Tractor) <br />doesn't have the inventory to host "Touch a Tractor"), we plan to get those rolling <br />again in 2022.We will also be offering multi-tiered sponsorship opportunities which <br />will feature partners on-site, on our web site and social media platforms. We would <br />also be happy to work with a host hotel. <br />Finally, while it's not measurable. we (as the owners) dedicate ourselves to visiiing <br />with as many guests as possible (because we love doing it and it's a great way to <br />get more information!). We love sharing everything Kittitas County has to offer with <br />guests..-from restaurants and places to stay to our favorile shops, sweet splurges. <br />hiking trails and more. <br />250{,1 chara/iter iir}til <br />4.3 Host Hotel*ls lhere a hosi holr:l ior yoLir evenl cr qrallt project? lt yes lisi the holei. <br />oNo <br />Yes. <br />5l Future Plans <br />Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. lnclude any plans for ficket sales, <br />event sponsors, and other cost-recovery models. <br />Future Plans*We have been growing both the overall farm and our fall season festivities. As to the <br />farm, we have made good on our plans to expand into the summer season. While <br />this is not part of the funding request. we feel that the more exposure/guest traffic <br />the farm has. the better it is for our fall event. <br />To our fall event itself, we took a big step in 2020. introducing paid admission. This <br />has generated a more consistent source of revenue. Going forward, we will be <br />looking at nrore consistant sponsorship oppotunities as well. <br />2500 character litilit <br />Application Questions.
