9129122, 11:12 AM Response 1: ProjecVEvent Description * Video Link List of lntended Use of Funds * Online Marketing Newsletters LTAC Clerk Review The Kittitas County Historical Society, lnc. (DBA Kittitas County Historical Museum) seeks funding in the 1Oth year of its successful campaign to revitalize and rebrand its public relations campaign as the organization itself looks toward strengthening and renewing its presence as it undertakes its most unique year yet. We will embark upon a stronger public relations campaign to renew interest in the museum itself and its events, activities, and historic anecdotes; while introducing an "Open Under Construction" campaign while the Museum readies and begins a multi-year restoration project for the Cadwell Building which may impact access to the museum, exhibits, and events, and a "Preservation is Key" campaign which will look at preservation projects of historic buildings in Ellensburg, Cle Elum, Roslyn, and other areas around Kittitas County during the Museum's period of restoration. We also seek to partner with the Ellensburg Rodeo, especially to highlight the K'ti'tas and Pshw6napam bands of lndigenous people, which the Nason Aronica family was inducted into the Rodeo Hall of Fame in 2010 and we are the cultural custodians of their collection, in addition to sharing the vast history held in our museum. We also seek to build new events like activities around historic preservation and community anniversaries, and continue successful activities like our walking tours, scavenger hunts, lecture series, historic pub crawl, and more. The campaigns also seek to reconnect the public in a post-pandemic world to the Museum and its offerings, while the Museum commits itself to a greater sharing of local history and historic preservation. The campaigns also re-energize marketing areas that the Museum has previously had success in, and wishes to expand interest in, as these individuals frequently travel through or visit (via daytrip or overnight), such as the great King County area, specifically Des Moines, Kent, lssaquah; the Tri-Cities DMA, Spokane DMA; and the Portland, Oregon DMA. We wish to update interested individuals through social media posts (organic and paid marketing)for specific interests, general awareness, and evenUactivity promotion, website updates, and newsletters. 2500 character limit Please provide us link to a brief video summary of you organization's evenVproject.
