We work with local businesses and other non-profits to co-market these events which increase exposure for both parties. ln the past and present, we have sought assistance with the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce, which has been beneficial. Through co-sponsoring events, having a booth, etc., we have increased our presence at events throughout Kittitas County. We expect to continue expanding our community presence in 2020. We partner with organizations to provide exhibits, information, or provide involvement that helps to enhance community events. A few of those are: Ellensburg Rodeo: Display and activities highlighting the 100 Years of the Rodeo Kittitas County Fair: Highlighting the 100 Years of the Kittitas County Fairgrounds Jazzin the Valley: Exhibit on local music history plus a chtldren's craft activity; FISH Car Show: Provide antique cars for display; Moments to Remember: An annual exhibit that focuses on an aspect of local nostalgia; and Puget Sound Energy Wild Horse Wind Farm: ltems loaned for annual display and partnership for the annual Ellensburg Rodeo Parade; new activity called "Wild & Whiskey" Ellensburg Downtown Association.
