While the series will launch as a free and open-to- the-public event, our goal is to build a scalable model that supports continued growth and quality programming. Sponsorships: We will actively pursue event sponsorships from local and regional businesses, including food vendors, lodging establishments, and service providers. Sponsors will receive promotional visibility through signage, digital media, and event materials, creating a mutually beneficial relationship that offsets production costs. Vendor Participation Fees: Food and beverage vendors can contribute through participation fees, which help cover infrastructure and marketing expenses. These fees will be scaled appropriately to ensure accessibility while supporting operational needs. In-Kind Contributions: We will leverage in-kind support from community partners for services such as volunteer staffing, equipment rentals, and promotional services. These contributions reduce overhead and strengthen local engagement.

By combining these strategies, we aim to create a self-sustaining event model that continues to deliver high-quality entertainment while supporting local tourism and economic development in Kittitas County. 2500 character limit Application Questions: Part 4 6| Additional Information
