It may be helpful for you to review these as you prepare responses so that you have a better understanding of the reviewers' expectations. Date -specific is an event or project which occurs over less than one month. Matching Funds is the amount of funding your organization is contributing to the project or event.

New Projects/Events are projects/events which are in the first four years of existence. For example, a proposal for a barbeque competition which is in its third year would be defined as a new project/event. Likewise, a project by an existing museum which expands its current offerings, or a specific new strategy for appealing to a different target market that is in its first year, would be considered a new project.

To go junkin' is to go hunting for old treasures and re -purposing them into something new or even decorating with them in their current state. For years people have loved to shop and collect antiques. People still love it, but there is a modern variation to this called junkin'. This vintage market is where shoppers come from all over to enjoy a day of shopping for Junkin' treasurers, up -cycled, vintage and antique finds. Different from a flea market, at this event each booth is like walking into its own little boutique. Vintage markets are extremely popular across America and have a very large following in Washington state. Shoppers will travel miles to catch the next great show. The audience I am targeting is ages 18 to 80 and everything in between. The structure of the show reaches various ages with the different types of items offered. Older shoppers may like the true antiques while younger shoppers may like more of the re -purposed items such as jewelry made from vintage spoons. There will be something for everyone! Not only do shoppers travel from all over but the show also brings in vendors from all over as well, with places like Sandpoint, ID, Hermiston, OR, Waterville, Puyallup, Edmonds, Spokane and others. This year I plan on advertising and using the money in the Seattle/Portland market as well as Central Washington area including Wenatchee, Moses Lake and Tri -Cities to name a few. I will be using the funds in various media areas such as online advertising, digital media, photography, video streaming, print, radio, television and collateral piece such as signage, banners, fliers, and save the date cards. If approved my budget also outlines using the funds for operation expenses such e insurance, building rental, and display items for the show. For reference there is additional information at question 7. 2. Please provide the following estimates of how any money received will result in increases in the number of people traveling for business or pleasure on a trip: I. Away from their place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accommodations; II. To a place fifty miles or more away from their place of residence or business for the day or staying overnight; or III. From another country or state outside of their place of residence or business. You must provide the evidence utilized in determining your projections. y the trend of vintage markets grow, so does the appeal of Junk-tiquen in the Burg. With Ellensburg being in the center the State, it is a great location to bring people from all over to shop. Shoppers are primarily women and will easily travel ore than 50 miles to make a find. Vendors will be the key for the increase of attendees along with the right mix of 3vedising that is itemized in question 1. By using social media platforms it will be easier to attract those from the region id beyond. It also will allow me to track the increased number that are from outside the county boundaries. Even if the coppers are traveling for the day, it will create added value shopping in the downtown core of Ellensburg, which will then cult in increased numbers for retail, dining and even gas sales. The longer this event runs the more opportunity for €erral visits; many of the returning shoppers will invite more of their friends to join them or often their spouses join them r the event. This in turn will continue to increase the awareness of the event. ased off of results from last year's shows: endors: 50 vendors per show of which 26% surveyed staying the night. Each vendor will have their own room or RV .commodations. 13 rooms x 4 nights (2 nights each shows) x $114.79 = $5,969.08 lodging income from vendors. (ADR Ja provide by STIR report from Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce) hoppers: estimated 4,700 shoppers (both shows) attending using a 10% estimate on those that will stay overnight. 35 rooms x 2 night stay (both shows) x $114.79 = $53,951.30 lodging income from shoppers. *double occupancy 717 Projected Total Income: $59,920.38 County -wide Lodging Tax Application P a g e 1 10 What tools will you use to measure your event's impact on tourism? Please be specific and provide examples. Include the following information: I. Is your project/event year-round or is it seasonal or date -specific? II. What strategies will you employ to assure you are attracting tourists from at least 50 miles away? III. What strategies will you use to assist in marketing all of Kittitas County as a tourist destination with your event/project funding request? Jy project is date specific twice a year. Because of the date being one in spring and one in all my marketing will be key to the strategy to marketing the whole County. Some things I vill point out is that my website will like the tourism campaigns of Ellensburg, Cie Elum and he County and I will have links to accommodation locations county -wide. I will also partner vith fellow events such as Huffman Farms,Thorp Mill Antique Show, and others. .astly, the assurance that all my efforts are quantified; I will do a few different things. First vould be the survey I have been doing for the past few years to see where the shoppers :ome from and what are they doing while in town. Second I will partner with the Chamber )f Commerce to send an electronic survey to all the followers of the tourism campaigns; racking if they came to my event, did they stay the night, if so where and what did they do vhile in the area? 4. Does your organization have, or have you applied for, grant funding from other sources? If not, why not? If yes, please list the available funding you have for the project, including any volunteer and in-kind sources, and/or the sources and amounts for which you have applied. Please note which funding sources are secured and in hand so a true matching fund determination maybe determined. What changes would occur if the project couldn't be funded? Junk-tiquen in the Burg has not applied for any grant funding from other sources. A number of volunteer hours will go into the shows, resulting in an estimate total hours of 352 hours L $28.99 per hour as referenced by independentsector.org. Not being a registered non profit; I do not qualify for many grants that are available. If funding is cut due to preference I will have to evaluate location, marketing costs, and even if the two dates are self sustaining. When that occurs I will evaluate the options. County -wide Lodging Tax Application P a g e 1 11 If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations, groups, or other events to cross -promote in an effort to encourage county -wide tourism, how is this accomplished? Although I am an individual putting on an event I have many partners that I work with throughout the year. See list below: Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce - member related promotions such as weekly bulletin, business after hours, networking activities, etc Huffman Farms - display area during her event throughout October in return I provide space for her during my event. Thorp Antique Show - fliers and cross promotions Tuckaway Antiques - fliers and listing on website Relics - fliers and listing on website Cross promotions are more visible on my website making sure that cross listings are correct, information that provides added value spent in the communities throughout the County. Example:accommodations listing, dining options, links to downtown associations, etc. Please explain what plans exist to allow this project to become self-sustaining. Include any plans for ticket sales, event sponsors, and other cost -recovery models. The key for this show to grow and become self-sustaining is consistency. The grant allows consistent marketing and to multiple markets. Creating a positive and fun experience is what helps measure success of an event. This kind of success is what rings vendors and shoppers back. The event will become on that is rescheduled on shoppers and vendors calendars year after year. Vendors pay for the booth space and there is a $5 admission fee. Both of these prices can be evaluate to help offset the expenses of the show. Investing any profit money back into tho, future shows will continue to help this event to grow and become self sustaining.

Fail Show 2015 Shoppers were lined up waiting for the doors to open. Being the 1st show, I projected to have 500 shoppers attend and was pleasantly surprised when there were over 900 in attendance! The target audience was age 18-80 and everything in between. A survey was conducted in which 183 people com- pleted it (20% of attendees). Of the 183 people I was able to conclude the following: 20 and under 17 40 to 50 32 20 to 30 16 50 to 60 57 30 to 40 22 60+ 38 My survey supported the saying "shoppers will travel miles to catch the next show" reflecting: Ellensburg 104 Tri -Cities 11 Yakima Area 23 West Side 9 Yakima Valley 10 Out of State 6 Two shoppers were new to Ellensburg! Of the 183 completed surveys, 17 shoppers and 8 vendors stayed the night (26% of completed surveys/vendors), bringing in approximately $2,100 in hotel revenue, more consumers of fuel, food and other shopping in our county. As you can see in the survey results, it reflected there was a strong support locally. Receiving this grant will allow advertising to reach more markets and draw more shoppers and vendors from out of the area. More out of town shoppers and vendors will increase hotel and local business revenue, enhance the quality of show for our county residents and increase oppor- tunities to support local fundraising efforts.
