Proposal Questions Please limit your answers to no more than one page for each question. 1. Tell us about your promotion,program,facility,event or activity and why you think it will increase tourists traveling to and staying in Jefferson County. For more than 15 years, The Production Alliance(TPA)has produced and supported festivals and community events that draw thousands of visitors to Jefferson County. Our programming aligns with the growing"experience economy,"offering travelers unique, authentic, and memorable activities that go beyond traditional sightseeing. By investing in robust marketing campaigns,we connect Seattle-area and regional tourists to Jefferson County's events, encouraging extended visits and deeper engagement with local businesses, lodging, and restaurants. TPA's reach is rooted in strong community partnerships: over 100 local businesses and nonprofits, 12 public agencies, 125 regional vendors, and more than 300 volunteers collaborate with us each year. Together we create a season of events that showcase the county's vibrancy across arts, agriculture, aviation, and maritime heritage. Highlights include: • Connectivity Summit(March)—A multi-day convening of nonprofit leaders, artists, government partners,and business owners,expanding in 2026 to draw participants from across the North Olympic Peninsula. • Chautauqua Week(May)—A three-day celebration of history, performance, and civic engagement that attracts regional visitors, including tribal partners from across the Peninsula. • Pride (June)—An inclusive festival of 2SLGBTQIA+pride and visibility, featuring parades, performances, and cross-arts collaborations, drawing more than 3,000 attendees. • Farm Tour(September)—Now in its third decade,this county-wide event spans 16 farms and attracts thousands of visitors for local food, fiber, and farm experiences. • Apple& Cider Fest(October)—A regional showcase of cideries, breweries, and distilleries, promoted in partnership with the Northwest Cider Association, bringing fall visitors to Jefferson County lodging and dining. These events, alongside family-friendly traditions such as Airport Day, First Night, and the Boatyard BBQ, ensure year-round tourism opportunities,with peak draws in both summer and shoulder seasons. TPA also provides event infrastructure: staging, tents, sound, volunteer coordination,that supports dozens of partner organizations, multiplying the reach of lodging tax dollars. With LTAC investment, TPA will expand marketing, deepen regional partnerships, and strengthen Jefferson County's role as a cultural destination. Our work not only increases visitor numbers but also enhances community resilience, celebrates local identity, and contributes to the growth of the County's creative economy. 5 I Page THE PRODUCTION ALLIANCE Page 24 of 42 RECEIVED 09/09/25 Page 9 of 26 2. If this is a continuing or reoccurring promotion, program, facility or event, describe your organization's prior activities. If applicable,how is it different than in the past? Events produced by TPA continue to reflect our mission and values, while evolving each year to increase impact and visitor appeal. We regularly engage new artists, redesign event layouts, add family-friendly activities, and invite youth and emerging adults to participate, ensuring our programs reflect the diversity and creativity of Jefferson County. TPA has also strengthened its foundation through a growing membership campaign, with more than 70 members supporting our nonprofit through monthly or annual contributions. Members receive recognition,perks such as a custom pin, invitations to our annual party, and early access to ticketed events. Membership can also be earned through volunteering. This campaign builds community support, deepens local connections, provides sustainable resources for grassroots celebrations, and further leverages LTAC funding. A key innovation is the Emerging Artist Program, launched in 2025 to nurture youth and early-career performers. By offering mentorship, professional development, and stage opportunities at major community events such as Pride,Airport Day,Boatyard BBQ, and First Night,this program strengthens Jefferson County's cultural identity while enriching visitor experiences.As it grows,we plan to expand regional promotion, bring in guest mentors, and connect more directly with local businesses, ensuring young performers remain central to the county's tourism economy. Another important advancement is the TPA Hub at the Fairgrounds. Beginning in Fall/Winter 2025,the Hub will serve as equipment storage, rehearsal and workshop space, and a gathering place for artists, volunteers, and community partners. This facility represents an investment in Jefferson County's cultural infrastructure,directly supporting LTAC's destination development goals. By improving our production capacity, the Hub will allow us to host higher-quality events that attract visitors, encourage overnight stays, and showcase the region as a vibrant cultural destination. Through these organizational and programmatic advances, TPA continues to grow and adapt, building on a strong track record while ensuring Jefferson County continues to play a leading role in cultural tourism. 6I THE PRODUCTION ALLIANCE Page 25 of 42 RECEIVED 09/09/25 Page 10 of 26 3. How does your promotion, program,facility or event support one of the Highest Priorities or Additional Considerations listed below under"Other Criteria" (see page 9)? The Production Alliance (TPA)advances Jefferson County's highest tourism priorities by producing festivals and cultural events that bring visitors to the region, supporting community infrastructure, and marketing authentic, experience-based tourism. Destination Development While TPA is not a traditional facilities developer,our work directly strengthens Jefferson County's cultural infrastructure. By providing shared equipment, staging, sound,and logistics to more than 20 partner organizations each year,we enable events of all scales to thrive and grow. In 2026,we also anticipate launching the TPA Hub at the Fairgrounds, a new home base for storage, rehearsal, and community gathering,which will further increase our production capacity. Though still in development, the Hub represents an important next step in supporting sustainable, year-round destination development. Marketing and Operations of Special Events and Festivals TPA's central role is producing and operating signature events that showcase Jefferson County's unique culture and identity. Highlights include: • Farm Tour and Apple& Cider Fest, which celebrate local agriculture and cider culture, drawing thousands of regional visitors in the fall shoulder season. • Pride, which attracts more than 3,000 attendees for a multi-day festival of 2SLGBTQIA+ visibility, music, and art. • Chautauqua Week,Airport Day,Boatyard BBQ,and First Night, each of which highlights a different facet of Jefferson County's history, heritage, or creative spirit. These events not only attract overnight visitors but also extend the tourism season beyond the summer peak, creating consistent year-round draws for lodging and hospitality businesses. Destination Marketing TPA elevates Jefferson County's profile through targeted digital campaigns, regional partnerships, and earned media. Our storytelling approach emphasizes authentic experiences that resonate with modern travelers, positioning the county as a destination where arts, culture, and community intersect. For example, coverage in The Seattle Times of Farm Tour and Apple& Cider Fest demonstrates the regional reach and visibility generated by our efforts. (see attached work samples) Additional Considerations Our programs also meet broader LTAC values of inclusivity,resilience, and youth engagement. The Emerging Artist Program mentors young performers and integrates them into major festivals, ensuring that visitors encounter the next generation of local talent. Preparedness Day seeks to engage hotels and hospitality partners in emergency planning, strengthening confidence and resilience in the tourism sector. In short, TPA supports all three tiers of LTAC priorities. By growing and marketing high-quality festivals, investing in shared infrastructure,and fostering inclusive, resilient community events, we help ensure Jefferson County is recognized as a vibrant destination for cultural tourism. 7 I Page THE PRODUCTION ALLIANCE Page 26 of 42 RECEIVED 09/09/25 Page 11 of 26 4. Describe how you intend to market/promote your promotion,program,facility, event or activity to potential tourists who reside outside Jefferson County or traveling more than 50 miles. Projected Events for 2026 TPA will produce or support approximately 12-15 major community events and festivals in 2026, including the Connectivity Summit, Chautauqua Week, Pride, Farm Tour, the Olympic Peninsula Apple& Cider Festival, Boatyard BBQ, Airport Day, and First Night, along with year-round event support for partner organizations. Marketing & Promotion Formula TPA follows a consistent year-round marketing model designed to reach visitors from across the Puget Sound region,the I-5 corridor, and beyond. Our approach integrates: • Strategic Planning (3-6 months before events): Each event is guided by a steering committee made up of community members, businesses, and nonprofit partners. These committees shape event goals, themes, and marketing strategies. TPA convenes designers, photographers, and videographers to develop visuals, messaging, and timelines that reflect both the community's vision and regional tourism appeal. • Digital Media: Targeted paid ads on social media(Instagram, Facebook, YouTube)and search platforms;teaser videos; and interactive"stories" in the weeks leading up to events. • Print& Broadcast Media: Advertisements and earned media coverage in regional publications, radio, and television; poster distribution in the I-5 corridor and along key highways(101, 104, 20). • Partnerships& Cross-Promotion: Collaborating with arts and cultural partners, regional tourism agencies, and the Northwest Cider Association to amplify messaging through shared networks. • On-Site Engagement: Roadside banners, street-team outreach, and consistent branding across print, digital, and live environments. Target Audiences Each event is tailored to attract different audiences—families(Farm Tour, Finnriver Apple Day), 21+visitors (Apple& Cider Saloon, Pride nightlife events), or cross-sector leaders(Connectivity Summit). Across all events, our focus is on creating welcoming, inclusive, and memorable experiences that appeal to both locals and visitors from outside Jefferson County and encourage repeat visits. Promoting Overnight Stays TPA works closely with local lodging partners to highlight hotels and inns that offer seasonal promotions tied to our events, especially during the fall and winter. For example, the Old Alcohol Plant and the Inn at Port Ludlow have offered stay promotions during Apple& Cider Fest and First Night. In 2026, TPA will continue to feature and expand these partnerships so visitors see Jefferson County as both an event destination and a place to stay overnight. Collaborations TPA partners with more than 100 local businesses and nonprofits, including the PT Film Festival,Port of Port Townsend, Jefferson Land Trust and Olympic Culinary Loop. These collaborations extend marketing reach, strengthen cross-promotion, and help ensure that Jefferson County is highlighted as a destination for arts, culture, and heritage tourism. 8 I Page THE PRODUCTION ALLIANCE Page 27 of 42 RECEIVED 09/09/25 Page 12 of 26 5. How will you measure the effectiveness of your promotion, program, facility,event or activity? a. Also,describe how you will document and report to the County the economic impact from your promotion,program,facility,event or activity. The Production Alliance (TPA)uses a combination of on-site counts, donation/ticketing data, and digital tracking to measure the reach and effectiveness of our events and promotions. Attendance Tracking Most TPA events are offered on a donation basis,with a commitment that no one is turned away for lack of funds. To measure participation, marketing coordinators and volunteers use clickers at main entrances, distribute stickers or bracelets to attendees, and track how many remain to verify counts.For multi-location events, we collaborate with production partners to track attendance through clicker counts, suggested-donation tallies, and venue capacities. For events with ticketed components,we also record attendee zip codes to estimate how many visitors travel more than 50 miles. For example, at the 2024 Olympic Peninsula Apple&Cider Festival, data from the ticketed Cider Saloon showed that 32%of attendees came from outside the region. Digital Metrics We measure online engagement through Google Analytics, social media dashboards, and automated reporting tools. Our website averages 1,600 visits per month,with traffic spiking significantly around event dates. In the past 30 days, it received 1,037 visits from outside Jefferson County, including out-of-state and 42 international visitors. This demonstrates that TPA events generate broad interest and that our site functions as a vital trip-planning resource. Social media reach also continues to expand rapidly. In 2024, Facebook followers grew by 38%, page visits increased by 149%,content interactions rose by 443%, and overall reach increased by 378%. On Instagram, reach increased by 169%, link clicks grew by 270%, and visits rose by 218%. These metrics demonstrate strong growth and broad regional visibility, proving that TPA's campaigns are effectively reaching new audiences and attracting visitors to Jefferson County events. Economic Impact Reporting TPA compiles attendance counts, visitor origin data, and digital analytics for the annual Q4 LTAC report. When available,we incorporate feedback from lodging partners and visitor surveys to estimate overnight stays and broader economic impact. This layered approach provides the County with reliable measures of how lodging tax investments translate into increased tourism and spending. Continuous Improvement These tools not only fulfill state reporting requirements but also help TPA refine our programming. By analyzing attendance patterns,visitor demographics, and digital engagement, we strengthen strategies that drive overnight stays, increase regional visibility, and ensure Jefferson County's cultural events remain vital to the tourism economy. 9 I rage THE PRODUCTION ALLIANCE Page 28 of 42 RECEIVED 09/09/25 Page 13 of 26 6. What economic impact can we expect in Jefferson County from your proposed promotion,program,facility,event or activity? a)Actual or estimated number of tourists at your events/facilities last year(2025): In 2025, events hosted and co-produced by TPA are projected to attract an estimated 16,600 attendees,with an additional estimated 32,000 participants at events where TPA plays a support role, for a combined impact of over 48,600 attendees. Based on attendance tracking methods (clicker counts, donation data, ticketed entry, and visitor origin analysis),we estimate that 15-25%of our event attendees are tourists from outside Jefferson County. This suggests that between 2,490 and 4,000 visitors came specifically for cultural events presented by TPA in 2025. b)Estimated number of tourists who will attend your events/facilities this year(2026): With expanded marketing efforts, stronger partnerships with lodging establishments, and the continued growth of signature events such as Pride, Farm Tour, and the Apple& Cider Festival, TPA anticipates at least a 10% increase in total attendance in 2026 bringing our estimated attendance to 18,260. This would bring the number of visitors from outside Jefferson County to between 2,739 to 4,565 tourists who attend TPA presented events and many more who attend events that we support. c) Projected economic impact in Jefferson County: TPA events provide significant economic benefits for local businesses, restaurants, food and craft vendors, musicians, gig workers, lodging,and cultural organizations. Our multi-day events, in particular, encourage overnight stays,which are especially valuable during the shoulder and off-tourist seasons. For example: • Pride and Chautauqua Week draw large weekend crowds in May and June • Farm Tour and Apple& Cider Fest extend the tourism season into fall, driving overnight demand at regional inns and resorts. • First Night provides one of the few large-scale winter attractions, creating lodging opportunities during a typically quiet period. With visitor spending on food, shopping, and transportation, TPA's programming contributes significantly to Jefferson County's economy, while also sustaining partnerships with more than 100 local businesses and nonprofits. The total economic impact of our events is hard to gauge,as we are not able to easily track visitor spending outside of our events. We are open to discussing ways to improve tracking of this metric. 10 I Page THE PRODUCTION ALLIANCE Page 29 of 42 RECEIVED 09/09/25 Page 14 of 26 7. Describe your organization's area of expertise. Do you provide a unique service? The Production Alliance (TPA) is a nonprofit cultural producer and service organization with more than 15 years of experience creating, supporting, and promoting events that help define Jefferson County's cultural identity. Our expertise lies in combining professional event production with deep community engagement, ensuring that festivals and gatherings are both logistically strong and culturally authentic. Unique Role in Jefferson County TPA provides a unique service by acting as both a producer of original events and a support hub for dozens of partner organizations. We bring together a wide network of artists, nonprofits, gig workers,entrepreneurs, businesses, production partners, and more than 300 volunteers to serve as stewards of Jefferson County's creative economy. Our work spans the entire County,with active partnerships and logistical support roles in Brinnon, Quilcene, Chimacum, Port Ludlow, Port Townsend and even out to Queets. This countywide presence makes TPA one of the few organizations that consistently supports events across diverse communities and geographies. Professional Services and Infrastructure We offer a robust suite of professional services and equipment that are critical to both community gatherings and tourism-related events. This includes staging,tents, lighting, sound, projection, heaters, and traffic and parking management. We also coordinate logistics, event staff, marketing campaigns, and design event layouts. These assets and skills reduce barriers for local groups and ensure that Jefferson County can host high-quality, safe, and welcoming events that attract regional visitors. Building Community Through Celebration What sets TPA apart is our philosophy of building community through celebration. Jefferson County's reputation for strong community connections is a vital part of its brand and identity, and TPA strengthens that identity by producing events that foster belonging, pride, and inclusivity. From Pride and First Night to Farm Tour and Chautauqua Week, our events highlight the diverse cultural assets of the county while drawing in thousands of tourists each year. Impact on Tourism and Local Economy By blending professional production with grassroots collaboration, TPA ensures that cultural events are not only meaningful to residents but also compelling for visitors. The result is a stronger tourism economy that supports local businesses, restaurants, lodging establishments, nonprofits, and creative professionals. With LTAC's support, we will continue expanding our capacity in 2026, sustaining Jefferson County's reputation as a vibrant destination for cultural tourism. 11I THE PRODUCTION ALLIANCE Page 30 of 42 RECEIVED 09/09/25 Page 15 of 26 3.
