Barcoded tickets were sold and zip codes for purchasers were recorded at <br />time of sale. Tickets were scanned at the gate for entry. Additionally, we collected accommodation information by direct ask <br />regarding overnight stay, residency, and accommodations at time of ticket sale. We did the same during vendor, contestant and <br />volunteer registration. <br />In 2024 we had 1903 overall attendance for Friday and Saturday performances. 826 were from outside of Kittitas County and of <br />those 169 were from outside of WA state. 658 attendees utilized overnight lodging (hotel/motel, RV/camping, or vacation rental). <br />Using the 2.5 people per pd lodging night multiplier would make a total of 260 paid nights. <br />2025 overall attendance is based on projected seating capacity and contestant growth expected. We utilized actual and <br />percentage growth based 2019-2024 to project 2025, as we anticipate a similar demographic. <br />2500 character limit <br />Application Questions: Part 5
