The majority of the marketing will be geo-targeted to audiences 50 miles or more
from Kittitas County. To ensure that we are attracting a large audience from
outside of the county, as opposed to local attendance, we will track attendees via
surveys at the event to gain data on where they are traveling from, their plans on
lodging, and how they heard about the event, to better pinpoint what avenue of
marketing is best to reaching these audiences. We will also use data gained from
ticket purchases, social media clicks, and website clicks and navigation to gain data
about attendees and where they are traveling from.

Paid Overnights' Data Support
Explain how the room nights data above from the prior year was collected and how the projection for the next year is
derived. (For example, if there was a survey conducted for the prior year, explain the methodology. For the projections,
what are they based upon and how is that basis justified?)
Prior Year Paid Based on ticket pre -sale data collected from the last event, approximately 73% of
Overnight's Stay attendees traveled from outside of the area, and 55% percent of event attendees
Response* stayed in paid accommodations for the event. About 80 people stayed in paid
accommodations, (32 rooms), 10 more than the year before. with the continued
growth we expect to see 90 overnight stays in 2020. (36 rooms based on 12.5%
increase)
The data collected to determine the above figures for room night stays came from
surveys that were conducted at the event. In the last survey, we had a total of 70
attendees responded that they were staying in paid accommodations after
attending the Mountain Ale Festival. Looking at the standard of 2.5 people per
room calculates into approximately 32 room nights. Carrying over the 12.5% ticket
sale increase projection, we conclude that the room bookings will increase to at
least 36 rooms booked for Mountain Ale Fest YOY.

Funding Shortfalls * What changes would occur if the project couldn't be funded?
The changes that would occur if the project could not be funded is reduction in
promotion and marketing, and finding less expensive alternatives to event needs
such as tenting, glassware, and other event supplies. The savings in these areas
would be shifted to promotions and marketing to ensure that the event continues to
be successful and draw tourists to Roslyn and the Upper Kittitas County from
Western Washington communities. A shift in the type of promotions and marketing
would occur as well, most marketing would be shifted toward social media.

Dear Taxpayer:
This is in response to your Feb. 20, 2012, request for information
regarding your tax-exempt status.
Our records indicate that you were recognized as exempt under
section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code in a determination
letter issued in July 1942.
Because you are not an organization described in section 170(c) of the
Code, donors may not deduct contributions made to you. You should
advise your contributors to that effect.
Please refer to our website www.irs.gov/eo for information regarding
filing requirements. Specifically, section 6033(j) of the Code
provides that failure to file an annual information return for three
consecutive years results in revocation of tax-exempt status as of
the filing due date of the third return for organizations required to
file. We will publish a list of organizations whose tax-exempt
status was revoked under section 6033(j) of the Code on our website
beginning in early 2011.
If you have any questions, please call us at the telephone number
shown in the heading of this letter.

Sincerely yours,
6JT141"tV4,-
