Evening haunted forest and corn maze: Fridays and Saturday 7pm to 10pm
Overview
We have been holding this event since 2013, with attendance growing to approximately 9,000 for the
month. The average daytime attendee stays about 2 % - 3 hours and 37% of last year's attendees were
from outside Kittitas County.
During daytime event hours, we offer wholesome fall family fun with the following activities:
• Pick your pumpkin straight from the patch (charged by size)

Various lawn games (free of charge)

• Concessions
Evening event hours offer the following:
• Haunted forest and corn maze
• Fire pits
Fireside concessions (s'mores, hot chocolate, coffee)
Fire Safety
All structures that will be used during the event are permanent and permitted structures. As a result,
the Fire Marshal has been on-site, as recently as October 2016 for inspection. Furthermore, we've
obtained a letter from the Fire Chief, stating that any and all department apparatus that may be needed
are permitted to travel over our bridge (please see attached A). We will contact the Fire Marshal's office
prior to this event. Finally, we have a firefighter/EMT onsite almost all event hours (a.k.a. — my
husband).
Buildings
There are several structures on the property, with four being used during event hours. All structures are
as follows (as shown on the attached map B):
(A) 12x16 storage building — holds all haunted forest props and supplies
(B) 36x36 pole building/shop — will be used as retail space during daytime event hours *This building is
in the process of being built and will be permitted with the County Building Dept.
(C) 14' storage silo — used as misc. storage
(D) 12x16 storage building — holds all farm tools, seeds, etc.
(E) 10x12 carport — used as a BBQ shack
(F) 14' silo — used as our prep kitchen *This building has been refurbished with countertops, sink,
stovetop, fridge, service window, etc.
(G) 10x20 carport — used as covered seating for guests
E, F and G are all permitted as commercial structures with the County
Concessions
All raw meat concessions are cooked off-site at a commercial kitchen and prepped on-site. We obtain an
event permit from the Co. Health Department each year. This year's permit has been filed for a paid, we
are just waiting to receive a copy. Concessions consist of the following:
a Pulled pork sandwiches
• Chicken salad sandwiches
+ Hotdogs
■ Veggie burgers
e Coleslaw
* Baked beans
• Chips
Baked goods
■ Bottled water
• Pop
Restrooms
We have three standard porta-potties and one ADA porta potty available at all times, as well as two
hand washing sinks. They are strategically placed between the petting zoo and concessions area. They
are provided by Brown and Jackson. They provide cleanings on Mondays. During the event itself, we
have Clorox wipes available to guests and we do spot cleanings throughout the day.
Parkin
Upon arriving at the farm, a parking attendant helps you park. Handicap parking is provided closest to
the main area. Out at the road (Wilson Creek), traffic impact is non-existent, as it is not a heavily
traveled section of road. Guests coming and going have a clear line of sight and easy access to turn left
or right.
Garbage/Recycling
Garbage cans are made available throughout the event, with about a dozen on-site in all. Approximately
4-5 are designated for recycling. At the end of the event, we empty all trash/recyclables into a large
dump trailer (keeping them separate). Then, regular weekly visits are made to KCSW for
dumping/recycling.
Insurance
In addition to our farm/umbrella coverage, we purchase event insurance each year as well. We are in
the process of having Kittitas County added as per the application. In addition, a statewide agritourism
liability law went into effect last month. Our event is covered under this new law and appropriate
signage will be in place to communicate this to guests (please see attached Q.
Music/Noise
We play music through a PA/stereo system during the daytime event hours of 10am and 4pm. The two
speakers used are directed away from any neighbors and the volume is set at a reasonable level, as to
just add ambiance music for the event.
We play music for our guests through a single speaker, during our evening event hours of 7pm to 10pm.
Some sound effects are used as well throughout the forest. However, it's all nature related (i.e. coyotes
howling, etc.), so it blends right in O
Neighbors
Our farm is 36 acres and is heavily forested throughout the majority of the land. The closest neighbors
we have are located just off Wilson Creek Road. The first, are our tenants. We rent the small house at
the front of the property and the tenant's lease includes an addendum that spells out the close
proximity of the farm and what to expect and accept in October (please see attached D). This will be the
current tenants third season with us. The second closet neighbors sit just to the North of us. Their
home/shop are at the front of the property, with no dwellings near the event area. They, the Jenkins,
are very supportive of our event. They make multiple visits each year and we provide their family with
V.I.P. passes as a thank you for their support.

Mr. Flory:
I had the opportunity to inspect a bridge on Hilary Huffman's (Huffman Farms) property accessed from
the address; 6181 Wilson Creek Rd. It is my understanding there is a concern related to the bridge being
suitable for emergency access.
I am not a structural engineer or a civil engineer. However, I have been responding to emergencies for
close to 40 years. The bridge in question is suitable for our medic units, brush trucks, and fire engines.
It is likely suitable for a water tender. However without an engineer's certification on private bridges we
typically don't take the water tenders over them, choosing to keep them on the county road and
shuttling water with the smaller engines.
I drove a brush truck over the bridge and observed farm machinery and a heavier truck drive over as I
stood there observing. I saw nothing that gives me concern. It has significant overlap on the large
concrete structures that gives it substantial stability. Should the County experience a significant seismic
event I would want to reexamine the bridge before driving over it, but that is true for hundreds of
bridges; private and government owned.
Please let me know I can be of further assistance. You can call me at 509-856-7714 or email at
sinclairj@kvfr,org if you have any questions.
Respectfully,
C John Sinclair

ESSB 5808 - H COMM AMD
By Committee on Judiciary
ADOPTED 04/07/2017
1 Strike everything after the enacting clause and insert the
2 following:
3 "NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The legislature finds that agriculture
4 plays a substantial role in the economy, culture, and history of
5 Washington state. As an increasing number of Washington's citizens
6 are removed from day-to-day agricultural experiences, agritourism
7 provides a valuable opportunity for the public to interact with,
8 experience, and understand agriculture. In addition, agritourism
9 opportunities provide valuable options for farmers and ranchers and
10 rural residents to maintain their operations and continue a
11 traditional economic development opportunity in rural areas. Inherent
12 risks exist on farms and ranches, some of which cannot be reasonably
13 eliminated. Uncertainty of potential liability associated with
14 inherent risks has a negative impact on the establishment and success
15 of agritourism operations.
16 NEW SECTION. Sec. 2. The definitions in this section apply
17 throughout this chapter unless the context clearly requires
18 otherwise.
19 (1) "Agritourism activity" means any activity carried out on a
20 farm or ranch whose primary business activity is agriculture or
21 ranching and that allows members of the general public, for
22 recreational, entertainment, or educational purposes, to view or
23 enjoy rural activities including, but not limited to: Farming;
24 ranching; historic, cultural, and on-site educational programs;
25 recreational farming programs that may include on-site hospitality
26 services; guided and self -guided tours; petting zoos; farm festivals;
27 corn mazes; harvest -your -own operations; hayrides; barn parties;
28 horseback riding; fishing; and camping.
29 (2) "Agritourism professional" means any person in the business
30 of providing one or more agritourism activities, whether or not for
31 compensation.
Code Rev/ML:jcm 1 H-2492.1/17
1 (3) "Inherent risks of agritourism activity" means those dangers
2 or conditions that are an integral part of an agritourism activity
3 including certain hazards, such as surface and subsurface conditions,
4 natural conditions of land, vegetation, waters, the behavior of wild
5 or domestic animals, and ordinary dangers of structures or equipment
6 ordinarily used in farming and ranching operations. Inherent risks of
7 agritourism activity also include the potential of a participant to
8 act in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to the
9 participant or others, including failing to follow instructions given
10 by the agritourism professional or failing to exercise reasonable
11 caution while engaging in the agritourism activity, unless the
12 participant acting in a negligent manner is a minor or is under the
13 influence of alcohol or drugs.
14 (4) "Participant" means any person, other than the agritourism
15 professional, who engages in an agritourism activity.
16 (5) "Person" means an individual, fiduciary, firm, association,
17 partnership, limited liability company, corporation, unit of
18 government, or any other group acting as a unit.
19 NEW SECTION. Sec. 3. (1)(a) Except as provided in subsection
20 (2) of this section, an agritourism professional is not liable for
21 injury, loss, damage, or death of a participant resulting exclusively
22 from any of the inherent risks of agritourism activities.
23 (b) Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, no
24 participant or participant's representative may pursue an action or
25 recover from an agritourism professional for injury, loss, damage, or
26 death of the participant resulting exclusively from any of the
27 inherent risks of agritourism activities.
28 (c) In any action for damages against an agritourism professional
29 for agritourism activity, the agritourism professional must plead the
30 affirmative defense of assumption of the risk of agritourism activity
31 by the participant.
32 (2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section prevents or limits
33 the liability of an agritourism professional if the agritourism
34 professional does any one or more of the following:
35 (a) Commits an act or omission that is grossly negligent or
36 constitutes willful or wanton disregard for the safety of the
37 participant and that act or omission proximately causes injury,
38 damage, or death to the participant.
Code Rev/ML:jcm 2 H-2492.1/17
1 (b) Has actual knowledge or reasonably should have known of an
2 existing dangerous condition on the land, facilities, or equipment
3 used in the activity or the dangerous propensity of a particular
4 animal used in such an activity and does not make the danger known to
5 the participant and the danger proximately causes injury, damage, or
6 death to the participant.
7 (c) Permits minor participants to use facilities or engage in
8 agritourism activities that are not reasonably appropriate for their
9 age. This provision shall not be interpreted to relieve a parent or
10 guardian of a minor participant of the duty to reasonably supervise
11 the minor's participation in agritourism activities, including
12 assessing whether the minor's participation in an agritourism
13 activity is reasonably appropriate for his or her age.
14 (d) Knowingly permits participants to use facilities or engage in
15 agritourism activities while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
16 (e) Fails to warn participants as required by section 4 of this
17 act.
18 (3) Any limitation on legal liability afforded by this section to
19 an agritourism professional is in addition to any other limitations
20 of legal liability otherwise provided by law.
21 NEW SECTION. Sec. 4. (1) Every agritourism professional must
22 post and maintain signs that contain the warning notice specified in
23 subsection (2) of this section. The sign must be placed in a clearly
24 visible location at the entrance to the agritourism location and at
25 the site of the agritourism activity. The warning notice must consist
26 of a sign in black letters, with each letter to be a minimum of one
27 inch in height. Every written contract entered into by an agritourism
28 professional for the providing of professional services, instruction,
29 or the rental of equipment to a participant, whether or not the
30 contract involves agritourism activities on or off the location or at
31 the site of the agritourism activity, must contain in clearly
32 readable print the warning notice specified in subsection (2) of this
33 section.
34 (2) The sign and contracts described in subsection (1) of this
35 section must contain the following notice of warning:
36 "WARNING
37 Under Washington state law, there is limited liability for an
38 injury to or death of a participant in an agritourism
39 activity conducted at this agritourism location if such an

injury or death results exclusively from the inherent risks
of the agritourism activity. Inherent risks of agritourism
activities include, among others, risks of injury inherent to
land, equipment, and animals, as well as the potential for
you to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to your
injury or death. We are required to ensure that in any
activity involving minor children, only age-appropriate
access to activities, equipment, and animals is permitted.
You are assuming the risk of participating in this
agritourism activity."
(3) Failure to comply with the requirements concerning warning
signs and notices provided in this section prohibits an agritourism
professional from invoking the privilege of immunity provided by this
section and sections 1 through 3 of this act and may be introduced as
evidence in any claim for damages.
NEW SECTION. Sec. 5. Sections 1 through 4 of this act are each
added to chapter 4.24 RCW."
Correct the title.
EFFECT: (1) Replaces the phrase "agricultural producers" with the
phrase "farmers and ranchers" in the intent and legislative findings
section.
(2) Removes "bed and breakfast accommodations" from the
definition of "agritourism activity."
(3) Modifies one of the exceptions to the immunity provided to

Addendum "A"
Given that First Things First, Inc. (doing business as Huffman Farms) operates at 6181 Wilson Creek
Road, there will be additional stipulations tied to the lease running from June 2017 to June 2018:
Huffman Farms will require full access to the shared driveways at all times.
® Once resources are available to make the improvement, the horse paddock currently located to
the right of the driveway will be removed and converted to an extended driveway. Tenants are
welcome to use it in the off season until then.
• Trailers and vehicles will not be permitted to park on the driveway. Parking on all sides,
including the backside of the shop area should be used.
• Some trees and shrubs may be trimmed, or removed, in order to improve visibility for drivers
entering or exiting Wilson Creek Road.
Some fencing on the north side of the house may be changed or removed.
When deemed necessary for business, signage will be placed at the end of the driveway,
fronting Wilson Creek Road.
■ Throughout the month of October the house, outbuildings and surrounding grounds must be
kept in especially good condition. This includes, but is not limited to; grass mowed, garbage
picked up, no burn/trash piles within sight, no random paraphernalia scattered about, etc.
• Neither Huffman Farms nor Glenn and Hilary Huffman will be held responsible for any damage,
loss or injury caused to animals and/or property as a result of Huffman Farms conducting
business on the property.
• There shall be no use of the back 30 -acres during the course of business hours. This includes
ensuring that all animals (i.e. dogs and horses) be out of the area.
• School buses may need to park on the shared driveway during field trips.
• Special care needs to be taken to keep all animals away from any kids on the property for
Huffman Farms (this includes on the shared driveway).
• Given the limited water supply on the back 30 -acres, the farm may need to fill some holding
tanks (i.e. 50 -gallon barrels) from the house. Should this occur, we will ask permission first and
reimburse the tenant for power required by the pump.
e Given the limited power supply on the back 30 -acres, the farm will use power from the shop.
Hours will be tracked and the tenant will be reimbursed.
• Other events may be hosted by Huffman Farms throughout the year (i.e. Easter egg hunt, etc.).
Should this occur, the tenant will be notified in advance.
• Additional stipulations may be required in the course of conducting business on the property.

Dear County Commissioners:
August 1, 2017
I would like to request a waiver of the penal bond/bond of indemnity that is part of the event
permit application process.
As this will be our fifth year holding this event at the same location, I believe that we have had
ample time to demonstrate that our event has no measurable impact on the county
infrastructure around us.
Event access and egress comes at a section of Wilson Creek Road that is not heavily traveled
(about four miles North up Wilson Creek Road, just before Radar). The road is simple, with no
bridges, guardrails, traffic lights, stop signs, etc.
Given our event history and the minimal travel that occurs along this section of roadway, I
respectfully request a waiver.
Sincerely,
Hilary Huffm
Huffman Farms
