The largest cultural celebraiion we hold is the Croatian Picnic which is held the 3rd Saturday in July. No need to be Ci-oatian, many people enjoy becoming Croatian for the day by adding an "itch" to their last name, This is a celebration of the largest cultural group that immigrated to our area to work in the coal mines, This is a family friendly event that attracts people from all over the country and even the world This year we saw record attendance with 610 people (usually we have between 350-400, in 2A21 we had an estimated 500). Our annual Roslyn Cemetery Clean Up day saw a decline in participation in comparison lo2O21 due to inclement weather. Despite the rain we still had 80 people helping, 18% from out of Kittitas County, and 28 didn't have family members buried in the Roslyn Cemelery.

From January 1 ,2022 through September 21,2A22lhere were 2,050 vrsitor groups that entered the kiosk We also know that we are only capturing data on peopie that actually visit the kiosk The number of peoole that visit the Cemetery but don't stop at the kiosk aren't tracked.
