The guest takes Pme to explore our town by exploring the streets of Vail. The market has created a sense of community in Vail, where the locals can come and have lunch and purchase their produce and craRs and tourists come and enjoy the outdoors while they shop in Vail. • We offered acPviPes for the culinary, acPve outdoor enthusiast to come. The 2017 survey has found that hiking, mountain biking, road biking and travel are all reasons the guests came to Vail. • The Vail Market makes Sundays the busiest day in town for many businesses. Vail Brand CompaFbility “Premier Interna0onal Mountain Resort Community” Strengths: We exceeded expectaFons! Brings in over 216,224,(via Intercept Survey) people into Vail for the summer. This would not happen if there was not a Market. We see families come each and every Sunday, the visiPng tourists staying in Vail, and the Coloradans coming in for an acPve day in the mountains. The event markets Vail: The Vail Farmers’ Market and Art Show Increased business for the town of Vail from June 18th to October 1st, 2017. Added value to the guest experience in Vail. The Vail Farmers’ Market and Art Show gave visiPng tourists a reason to stay in Vail instead of traveling to another town for entertainment. The average number of nights stayed by those staying paid lodging within Vail was 4.9 nights. The Vail Farmers’ Market and Art Show produced approximately 6,836 room nights. The esPmated gross revenue generaPon was approximately $13 million. Each year we have seen this grow. Colorado visitors have a reason to come back another weekend aRer visiPng. The survey has found that 89% of the guests surveyed plan to come back. Event Strengths & Weaknesses This year our markePng of the Vail Farmers’ Market and Art show included the following adverPsing: The Vail Farmers Market increased parPcipaPon in all summer events. We enhanced our Market by showing how buying local truly works. Our ads encouraged folks to come to Vail for mulPple days, for mulPple events and to stay overnight in Vail hotels. We saw this grow by almost from 3.7 to 4.9 room nights our guests are staying. This added bonus for the Town of Vail and all events creates a true community feel for Vail. Weather is always a deterrent, but this year even when a bit rainy we had guests coming. Event Strengths & Weaknesses We have created a venue where the locals are able to come and purchase their produce and specialty items and the tourists can come and enjoy the day with the entertainment and shopping. We saw this each Sunday; locals coming back and the visitors staying all day. The restaurants and shops all say Sunday is their best day and it keeps growing. We have a jurying process and all vendors that are not Vail businesses need to be selling Colorado made items. The adverPsing that we have received from 5280, Vail Daily and social media has put our market out there for all of Colorado to see.

The Farm to Table Series addiPon to the market gave us more opportuniPes to market this event. We also sent out press releases to concierges, newspapers, radio, etc to gain the free word of mouth and media exposure. The market used their social media campaign to get the vendors info out, recipes, and info about Vail out to The Market had private eblasts from condos and real estate companies help promote the market by menPoning it in the summer acPviPes for their guests. The Vail Farmers Market & Art Show is in the VLMAD ad schedule. The markePng of not only the Market, but also the Farm to Table Series, shows the strength of the event. We want to get people into Vail to not only be entertained by the Market, but by the stores, restaurants, events, world renowned music and acPviPes available. The markePng has given us a place in Colorado. We have found that many of our visitors are from Summit County, Aspen, The Denver area and the Western Slope. The markePng we have created has made the Vail Farmers’ Market and Art Show recognized throughout Colorado. Topline MarkeFng Efforts The Vail Farmers’ Market and Art Show was started sixteen years ago to provide a sense of community for the town of Vail. Each year the market has grown. We have created a true community for Vail. The locals, the visitors, both in state and out all come to the Market and leave with the majority of them happy and excited to come back to Vail. We are bringing people in from all over Colorado and NaPonally. The Market is showing the visitors that have come that we have a true Colorado experience outside their hotel room. Community ContribuFon • We are 100% compostable event (with exception of water bottles). We are 89% compostable at the event. The vendors are fined if they are not compostable. • We have started a program with Eagle County Water and Sanitation District to refill water bottles at the Vail Farmers’ Market and Art Show. We will continue this, along with having water bottles for sale at the event. We would still like for the Town and events to be looking at a water filling station that will work 365 days a year for the Town. • We had the compostable stations around the market all days of the market. This was maintained by the Walking Mountains. It was a huge success and the only way the market could do this is through the town subsidy. We thank you for this. • Our guests used the extra summer bike racks around the market this year and this seemed to keep many riders from riding through town. It also promotes the use of bicycles.
