Tourists travel to cle Elum over the 4th of July holiday weekend to experience the power of a small, tight knit community. Pioneer Days, that includes the lndependence Day activities and fireworks show, is a state wide recognized celebration that has expanded in popularity and scope. The variety of activities that occur throughout the Pioneer Days celebration provide ample reasons for tourists to visit and stay in Upper Kittitas County. A cornerstone to the Pioneer Days weekend is the saturday parade that happens on Saturday July 1st this year. The parade typically features over B0 entries that come throughout the region. The parade "finale" includes a water fight between localfire departments as well as the entertainment provided by the seatfle cossacks motorcycle club. The club has also been gracious enough to stay after the parade for visitors to get a closer look at their bikes. The Chamber of Commerce has once again partnered with the Upper County AAU organization to bring back the Triple shot 3 on 3 basketball tournament to the streets of cle Elum. The 3 on 3 tournament started shorfly after the parade and ran until past 6:00. There are other organizations that contribute to Pioneer Days. Most notably the cle Elum Downtown Association puts in a lot of work into this event as well coordinating entertainment through the weekend, a thriving market, as well as various marketing efforts. we worked closely with GEDA last year and look fonvard to continuing to work together on this event. The other activities include a corn-hole tournament, pancake breakfast, and special chows by the Boulet Theatre. The lndependence Day Celebration, on July 4th, will be a free and open event from 3:00 PM to'10 PM serving as a "hub" of activities on Independence Day. we plan to use the Memorial Park/Fireman's Park adjacent to south cle Elum to host a family-friendly event with something for everyone during the entire day. Activities will feaiure a beer garden, live entertainment, coniests, and a kid's zone featuring a small carnival - which will be new feature for this event. 2500 character limit Please provide us link to a brief video summary of you organization's evenUproject.
