Part 2 <br />3l lmpact <br />LTAC Clerk Review <br />Describe the prior success of your evenUactivity/facility in attraction tourists. <br />fhe2022 event was a complete success. The Daily Record described the Pioneer <br />Days parade as "A parade for the ages". While a parade is nearly impossible to <br />get an accurate attendance count - using photos and aerial footage, we are <br />estimating attendance at just over 3,000. The other activities surrounding Pioneer <br />Days were successful endeavors as well. The Cle Elum Downtown Association <br />reports that between the Dock Diving and various markets over the long weekend <br />had a cumulative total of 4,000 between their produced events. <br />The 3 on 3 basketball drew 74 teams from across the state. Each team features 4- <br />5 players as well as traveling family, etc. With the tournament starting around <br />12:30PM and ending at 6:30PM this allowed for participants to visit local shops <br />and dining while they weren't actively involved in a game. Two travelling teams did <br />end up staying the night (Tonasket). <br />At the lndependence Day Celebration we had approximately 1500 people pass <br />through during the day. The event had 5 live acts as well as various contests for <br />the participants to take part in. <br />We operated two bounce houses for kids. ln addition to those kid activities, we <br />had two sets of contests that kids participated in as well. A pie eating contest and <br />nail driving contest. These are family friendly activities that were well received. <br />We had 3 food vendors and 3 commercial vendors for guests to visit. The plan is <br />to increase those numbers up to a minimum of 5 each. The addition of the carnival <br />feature should help do that as well. <br />All of these events were promoted through the Chamber's associated websites as <br />well as our partner websites and social media accounts. <br />Between June 1st and July 4th 2022 - www.centralwashingtonoutdoor.com had <br />24,294 visitors - 6,466 were from Seattle <br />Between June 1st and July 4th 2022 - www.discovercleelum.com had 5,338 <br />visitors - 1,657 were from Seattle. <br />These are just snippets of our reach - these were a result of targeted ads placed <br />through our digital marketing efforts. <br />2500 character limit <br />lf-app-16-03.co.kittitas.wa.us/Forms/form/submission/history/77425l85639?hideHeader=true 7t't5
