Application Questions:Part 1
Please answer each question completely,in the order listed.Please include any supporting data within the
response narrative.
1|Project/Event Description
Please provide a description of your project/event and identify the specific tourism audiencelmarket that your
organization will target with these funds.You must include an itemized list of exactly how any grant funds
awarded will be utilized.
Response 1:We are proposing an exciting new event that could have huge potential for
Project/Event increased tourism in Kittitas County.Hospice Friends is working with KittitasDescription*County,Central Washington University and others to bring a Fly-In to Bowers Field.
A Fly-in is a static display of aircraft,including private,commercial and military
displays.
The beautiful thing about a Fly-In is almost everyone is interested in the romance
of flight on some level.With the variation of aircraft,from powered to non-powered,
commercial,military,experimental,balloons and ultralight aircraft,there is
something for just about everyone to enjoy.With the wide array of options,it will
draw interest from all ages and cultures,crossing the normal audience boundaries
one of our events would draw.
The other exciting element of a Fly-In is that it extends the geographical
boundaries.This type of event can draw aircraft both regionally and nationally,
bringing people to the area that may not have experienced our county before.
We will target some of the following demographics,locally,regionally and
nationally,(This is not an exclusive list,but rather examples.)The WPA
(Washington Pilots Association)and other state associations,EAA (Experimental
Aviation Association),FAA (Federal Aviation Administration),Women in Flight,
Flight Schools,WSDOT-Aviation (Washington State Department of Transportation)
and other state aviation divisions,Department of Natural Resources,schools,
family organizations,veteran associations,military,firefighting agencies and private
contractors.
Grant funds will be utilized to fund the following:
Social Media Marketing,Event Branding,Venue Promotions,Print and broadcast
marketing,Talent,Commercial Display's,VIP Hospitality,Strategic Event Planning
and basic overhead expenses.

2|Projections of Increased Tourism
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:
1.Away from their place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accommodations;
2.To a place fifty miles or more away from their place of residence or business for the day or staying overnight;
3.or from another country or state outside of their place of residence or business.
You must provide the evidence utilized in determining your projections.
Response 2.1:1.Away framtheir place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid accorrrmdations;
Projection As a new event,not seen for many years in Ellensburg,our marketing will bring
spectators out to experience something new and exciting.Promoting the event as a
family friendly community event will appeal to all ages and demographics.
Money received from this grant will be focused on advertising and promotion of the
event and venue.The advertising will include social media,print and broadcast
media.We will encourage visitors to support the local businesses and activities
Kittitas County has to offer available over the scheduled event weekend.As most
of our participants will be flying in from locations all over the northwest,we will
encourage them to arrive on Friday to be prepared for the Saturday event.We will
also use incentives to get participants and spectators to visit local businesses prior
to attending the Fly-in.We will work with local businesses to provide incentives for
spectators to come the night before or stay the night of the event based on
community activities.Without the marketing investment,this event will not succeed.
2500 character lirrit
Response 2.1:As stated in the 2018 International Council of Air Shows spectator survey,
Evidence*approximately 68%of all spectators travel 40 miles or less to attend these events.
This demographic is much more difficult to entice an overnight stay.However,when
combined with an early AM start time or evening event it is more likely to attract the
hotel stay for these local travelers.Therefore,we are proposing both options with a
sunrise breakfast and a VIP event in the evening.Other studies showthat average
population draws are between 10%-30%of the total population.In Kittitas County
alone,that percentage would equate to 4000 people at 10%draw.We believe this
to be an overly optimistic draw for the first year.We are currently expecting about
1500 spectators.
2500 character lirrit
Response 2.2:2.To a place fifty niles or rmre away fromtheir place of residence or business for the day or staying overnight;
Projection Again,as a new event,it's difficult to project overnight accomodaitions.However,
proper marketing will bring spectators out to experience something new and
exciting.We plan to market this event to school districts throughout the region as a
family freindly and educational experience,hoping to promote the future of this
event.Money received from this grant will be focused on advertising and promotion
outside of Kittitas County.The advertising will include the event and encourage
visitors to support the local businesses and activities Kittitas County has to offer
available over the scheduled event weekend.We will also use the received funds
to market to regional and national aviation organizations to encourage new tourism
visitors,
2500 character lirnt
Response 2.2:It is stated in the 2018 International Council of Air Shows spectator survey that over
Evidence*32%of spectators travel 40-100+miles from their residence to attend events.The
report also states that Radio,TV,Website,social media and news reports are the
most effective types of advertising for aviation related events.The reason for
making this an event to market to schools is because this report also states 56%of
participants attended with chldren.This obviously has to be part of our marketing
strategy.
If we expect 2400 spectators for the event,that would be approximately 768 from
out of county.We are hoping 10-15%of these spectators have overnight
accommodations.The 10-15%is what we have historically seen at our Car Show
events we have hosted for the1ast 20 years.By combining the event with an early
AM start time or evening event it is more likely to attract the hotel stay for these
travelers.Therefore,we are proposing both options with a sunrise breakfast and a
VIP event in the evening.
2500 character lirrit
Response 2.3:3.or from another country or state outside of their place of residence or business.
Projection Again,the funds will be used the same way as above wth a larger focus on
National Organizations,Flying clubs and military personell,for those that will be
traveling from out of state or other counties.
250D character lirrit
Response 2.3:Aa a new event I have to site the same facts as prevoius.The 2018 international
Evidence*Council of Air Shows spectator survey that over 32%of spectators travel 40-100+
miles from their residence to attend events.One other fact in this report was that
the second highest ethnic group to attend airshows were Hispanics.We will focus
on the large hispanic population in the agricultural regions of Wenatchee,Yakima
Valley,Tri-Cities and Spokane regions.

3|Measuring Results
What tools will you use to measure your event's impact on tourism?Please be specific and provide examples.Include the
following information:
A.Is your projectlevent year-round or is it seasonal or date-specific?Go to definitions of terms.
B.What strategies will you employ to assure you are attracting tourists from at least 50 miles avray?
C.What strategies will you use to assist in marketing all of Kittitas County as a tourist destination with your
event/project funding request?
Response 3:Yht tools will you use to neasure your event's inpact on tourism?Rease be specific and provide exarrples.
Measuring Results Our event is Date-Specific.
The stratigies we will use are similar to what we have done with our car show
events over past years.Through pre-registration we can determine event
participants home locations.We also provide surveys for vendors and participants
which provides us useful information as to distance traveled and overnight
accommodations.
It gets a little more difficult to track spectators,however we have tried to do this in
the past through raffle ticket sales and guest books.We believe there will be
additional tracking abilities through social media taht we haven't taken advantage
of in the past through develping dedicated event pages.
We will also work with local hotels to provide special incentives at check-in to track
those attending the Fly-In.
Hospice Friends is fortunate,as we have several companies and organizations who
support us year round.We plan to work closely with these companies and
organizations to create special menu options,discounts,tours,etc,as incentives to
spectators who want to e×perience Kittitas County.Last year we worked with
several restaurants during the car showto promote downtown patronage durning
the event.We plan to expand that to many other businesses for the Fly-in.

Your sdection here should be supported by the dates you provided above,in the Floject or Event infornation section.
Response 3 B:B.Wlat strategies will you enploy to assure you are attracting tourists fromat least 50 niles away?
Measuring Results We plan to market to airports,flying clubs,military families and schools within the
region and state.Focusing the majority of our marketing efforts in the 30-175 mile
range outside of Kittitas County.This will entail social media,print and braodcast
media along with parterning with the FAA,WSDOT Aviation,Flight Schools and
other regional air shows.

To promote Kittitas County,we will use our relationships with several companies
and organizations who support us year round.We plan to work closely with these
companies and organizations to create special menu options,discounts,tours,etc,
as incentives to spectators who want to experience Kittitas County.Last year we
worked with several restaurants during the car show to promote downtown

Application Questions:Part 3
4|Collaboration
If your organization collaborates or has created partnerships with other organizations,groups,or other
events,how is this accomplished?
Collaboration *We have collaborated with many organizations including Kittitas County,CWU,
FAA,WPA,KVFR,DNR,and others to bring a cohesive and unified statement to
the public about the importance of a viable airport in Kittitas county.The Fly-In is
the beginning to this new and exciting future for Bowers Field.
This was initially accomplished through addressing the Kittitas County Aiport
Advisory Council about our ideas.This initial conversation has spawn a renewed
interest in many of the organizations listed above and the first public event will be
held October 5,2019.This event is that kick off for the 2020 fly-In and brings in our
state representative Tom Dent and many others to speak about the future of
aviation in EIIensburg.
2500 character linit
5|Future Plans
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.
Future Plans*We don't expect this event to be truly self-sustaining for a few years.With the
amount of work needed at Bowers Field to facilitate large crowds and larger
aircraft,this event will be slowto mature.Our vision,through the renewed spirit of
Bowers Field and future economic growth,we can develop an event that draws
1500 spectators the first year.Within 3 years,we hope to see 4000-5000
spectators over the weekend with over 100 airplanes,food vendors and multiple
live music performances.We will be working closely with Moses Lake,and other
airports who have revived air shoes and operated Fly-In's for many years to help
us grow this event.Eventually ticket sales,concessions,live music and corporate
sponsors will be able to sustain a Fly-In event.We also believe this event will help
boost the economic development of the airport which will in-turn provide other
sponsors and revenue streams for the event.
