We use our extensive network along with advertising and promotions to draw teams to the Kittitas Valley. The <br />feedback on the quality of Rotary Park along with how much families enjoy the town of Ellensburg seems to be a driving force for <br />successful events. As for basketball events, we mainly utilize the SURC and families love the location and being on the college <br />campus. <br />2500 character limit
