Our management team at Crestline Sports has produced over 1,500 M events since 1990, providing an unsurpassed level of experience, expertise, and service to our sponsors and participants. Our original 3v3 "got milk?" Soccer Shootout was produced in Denver, in 1990. Dan Cramer, the founder of the 3v3 soccer shootout designed the game to increase touches on the ball, maximize offensive play and scoring, strengthen transition play, and help build each player's value on the field. After 15 years of producing tournaments, we continue to see our players become more passionate for our version of soccer because it rewards individual skill as well as teamwork. Also through this time span, we received great feedback from coaches, parents, and spectators because they love the Kick-It 3v3 National Soccer Tour for its excitement and high-scoring games. It is this excitement and passion for 3v3 soccer that has made the Kick-It Soccer Shootout the largest soccer tour in the world. With over 70 events in more than 40 states, there is always a Kick-It Tournament where you and your friends can compete! a R M M MEMMI d MMINV p00MUM.... 9@C@CC° o , ° i , 25,= ?? ?aoQ u? ° o End ?JOo g O O O mum OAP @W CM M RMOV 1O?w d 00 MP °° 00 1 ?JO C O- 0 0 Oo@o UOUP l4JC.l00 0 h a 0 0 e 0 0 0' MM° MW O Q JeJ ft ft 0 PEA on 0(@ 0dQOUIP?oO °° 0 0 JEB chm o o Op o e ° o (0`ln o MRM RMM.

Many of the event participants will surely return to Vail in the years to come and some will become lifelong visitors. SSCV plans to offer businesses the opportunity to make these participants and their families loyal patrons to their businesses for many years to come. The Vail Mountain Marathon event committee has a media and marketing committee in place. The function of this committee will be to work with the local newspapers to ensure pre-event advertising and results for all participants, as well as the sponsors. This committee will be responsible for soliciting sponsorships, all advertising, as well as working with local lodging facilities to create "package" deals for those participants traveling from the Front Range and beyond. In addition, this committee hopes to draw in some Spring Break visitors for participation in the event. TOV/CSE _10- 2005 Application for Funds ATTACHMENT 4 EVENT DEMOGRAPHICS Event participants will be from all age groups; ranging from 8-65 years of age. Approximately sixty percent of participants will be male and forty percent will be female'... They will be accompanied by their spouses, significant others, and children; and in some cases, extended families as well. Fifty percent of the participants will be from the Denver Front Range/Foothills and fifty percent will be from the Vail Valley. Forty percent of the participants and their families from the Front Range will be staying in local hotels. Nearly one hundred percent will eat in local restaurants and shopping in local stores for at least the day of the event, if not the day preceding. This estimate assumes that participants are only in town during the competition while SSCV feels that some will extend their stay. It is estimated that spending by event participants and their families will generate approximately $65,000. This estimate is based on lodging, meals, and lift tickets; it does not take into account additional spending by participants in shopping and parking. BENEFITS TO THE TOWN OF VAIL & RETURN ON INVESTMENT This will allow the Town of Vail to showcase all that it has to offer to a captive audience of ski enthusiasts. In addition to the estimated $65,000 in revenue to local businesses and the associated sales tax revenue to the Town, the Town of Vail has the opportunity to attract repeat customers.

Breckenridge has hosted the US Nationals for the past 3 years and the streets have been lined with cheering crowds. 2 years ago TimeShip Racing was asked to host the Downhill portion of the event and Vail Pass has served as a good venue. Parents and young skaters welcome skateboard events that offer a chance for the novice to participate. Older skaters feel encouraged to come out and support these kinds of events that were once very popular in Colorado in the late 1970's. We intend to reach both spectators and racers with the following promotions: 1) Colorful event posters distributed in Denver, Boulder and the surrounding areas. Bike shops, skate shops, outdoors shops and cafes all reach our target group, and handbills will be printed up to hand out to interested parties. 2) Ads in the event section of the Denver and local papers 2-month prior. 3) An ad for this event will be placed in the magazine Concrete Wave which has a worldwide distribution and has the most diverse readership of it's kind, ranging from kids to skaters in their 50's. 4) The Vail Pass event has already been added to the 2006 point series and will be listed in all of the information that is produced for distribution nationally and internationally. 5) Announcements on the various Internet sites that have contest calendars and event postings such as NCDSA.COM, Silverfish.com, Coastlongboarding.com and our web site TimeShipRacing.com. 6) In past years the Vail Pass / Breckenridge events have gained sponsorships from within the skateboard community in the form of funds for prize money ($5000 in 2004), product for Junior prizes and volunteers from the Vail Fire Dept to serve as our medical staff. 7) The past 2 years the Vail Pass / Breckenridge event had the Resort Sports Network, PLUM TV and the local television station come out to film and cover the event. There were also articles appearing in local papers and a 3 page spread on the US Nationals in the magazine Concrete Wave. 8) We will produce an event program featuring bios on some of the top racers, directions to the racecourses and listing the participating local 'co-sponsors', their services and locations for each the evenings' gatherings Event evaluation: The Vail Pass Downhill has been held the past 2 years in conjunction with the US Nationals of Skateboard Racing. The Slalom events were held in Breckenridge the following days and TimeShip Racing also awarded an Overall Title to the top combined finisher of all 3 events. The Nationals event drew 60 racers, men and women ranging in age from 12 to 53. The downhill course is a nearly straight 1.3- mile stretch rated `easy' by professional standards, making it more approachable for first time racers. Novice racers reach speeds of 35 mph, Pros can reach up to 50 mph. There have been no injuries to date, and rain has caused only a slight delay (1-hour) both years. The event has wrapped up around 4:00 PM and both the State Patrollers and the CDOT have commended us on our organization and professionalism. Holding the downhill event up on the Pass has limited the number of spectators attending, and for this reason we would like to consider holding the Pro Downhill event in town as well as the Slalom and Giant Slalom races. While the old highway / bike path is perfect for the novice and beginners, there are plenty of twisty roads in the Town of Vail that would make excellent Pro courses. This will attract many more spectators to see this kind of exciting racing, and draw the best racers in the world to a technically challenging course. Some possible locations could be Cascade Village, Forest Road, Vail Road, Bassingdale Blvd, and Intermountain. Downhill courses require placing straw bales around corners, more staff and radios and cover at least %Z of a mile. Slalom courses are relatively short covering only 2 city blocks and are more easily blockaded, managed and viewed by spectators. The budget described above would cover 3 days of racing and all of the event venues. Demographics: Skateboard racing appeals to an older set, not as much to the kids on their short boards trying to do fancy flippy tricks. That is until they try it! The average racer is in their mid 30's and 40's and have the means to travel and compete in several races per year, both overseas and in Canada. Many travel with their families and have kids. This is mostly how the younger skaters get into the sport, making it more of a family activity than the kind of skateboarding that most of us are familiar with. The past 3 years most of the racers stayed in Breckenridge at the Beaver Run Resort, ate out at the various pubs and restaurants and did some boutique shopping in the evenings. Revenues for local businesses: Most participants would be arriving on Thursday and leaving on Monday morning, staying 4 nights on the average. The past 2 years we arranged lodging at the Lift House which served as a central meeting place. We usually arrange to have local restaurants host our group for dinners each evening. Breakfasts and lunches are best arranged with food vendors that can accommodate racers, spectators and staff at or near the site of each day's event. DJ's Diner opened early for our group breakfast and everyone loved it. The spectators that this event will attract will have time to visit the local shops and cafes between races. They could also use the event programs to find their way to businesses that are 'co-sponsors' to join in the evenings post race parties. TimeShip Racing is owned and operated by Joe Lehm in Santa Fe, NM where we run an indoor skateboard school, a small shop and have been promoting regional and National events for 5 years. It is a sole proprietorship and has 4 employees: Steve Chrisman Ryan Ricker JC Walker Isa Ruiz Thank you for your time in considering this event, contact me with any questions, j- e ? ?? -C? P? Joe Lehm 505-474-0074 www.TimeShiDRaciniz.com Hi Sybill, Thanks for your help, here's an addition to my application: Since I applied to the CSE for funding aid, much interest has been generated from within the skateboard racing comunity. As a result there is already more interest from sponsors in helping to make this event happen. Below is an updated list of the sponsorships and estimated expenses. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks again, Joe Lehm OCT-14-2005 17:37 FROM: AVON C O L O R ,t D O October 14, 2C 05 Dear Special E vents Commission Members: 9709490160 TO:9704767141 P.1/( I am writing on behalf of Premier Event Management (PEM) in regards to producing a point-to-point Avon to Vail: triathlon for 20 X. 1 approached PEM after a wrap-up meeting with the Town of Vail following the TriArierica triathlon. At thws meeting, the representatives present determined that, while both Towns would be very interested in having a town. to-town tri in 2006, the current event management team (Sommer Sports) would not be invited to return. In its p lace - a different event management group could be solicited. The reas2jes. at both Towns determined that it would be well worthwhile to bring back the event were:: RLD CLASS ATHLETIC EVENT: The triathlon was extraordinarily well received by participant The route, distances, timing equipment, and kids race were all aspects that made this new event a "DE stination Td". There are very few triathlons of this caliber in Colorado. • VA LEY ASSETS: The bi-town event allowed use of both Towns landscapeslassets to create an awespme race. The open water swim in Nottingham Lake -allowed for a large-scale tri (impossible in a pool scen. no), and the premier finish line in the heart of Vail Village provided athletes with a buzzing finish. • SP XTATORS AND OVERNIGHT VISITORS: Athletes were required to pick up packets pre-race day; man of surveyed non-locals were spending the night in local hotels. The finish line brought participants and pectators right to the business doors in Vail Village. The packet-pick up and Kids Race familiarized indiv uals with Nottingham Park. • FO UNDATION. Much of the groundwork is already done, The event's execution (with the assistancehm both towns, PD's, and volunteers) worked fabulously and could easily become a turn-key event with the right management team. I have spoken with Premier Events Management's director, Bill Burke. Amongst dozens of triathlons across the country, PEM produces the NYC triathlon (from its inception in 2001). 1 had the opportunity to assist witlh that event when I was st II in New York. Their planning, management, and execution was superb. Pull just put on the International "riathlon Unions (ITU's) Wodd Triathlon Championship in Honolulu. PEM is also responsible for the USATs Youtl Nationals in Louisiana. (Thomas Walsh, local youth from Vail, received first place this year in his age group!) In shpt, PEM has excellent credentials and continuously receives kudos for their work, Mr. Burke exl ressed that he would be very interested in bringing a world class triathlon event to the Vail Valley.: He would like to have further discussions with representatives from both Towns. I only had the opportunity to introduce this opportuni Y and deadline to Bill this week. He is very interested in submitting a proposal reflecting) his needs, resources, and requests and will follow up shortly. In light of SEC's proposal deadline, I wanted to provide an update on these developments. 'thank you for your time.

King of the Mountain Volleyball The Annual Vail King of the Mountain Open is one of the Rocky Mountain Region's most popular, and exciting, beach doubles volleyball tournaments. It's format includes both adult and juniors' competition. Said Event was created not only to provide a quality Tourney for the participants; but, also, to provide an Event, which would, directly, bring tourists, spectators, and competitors to the Vail Valley. The Mission of the Event is to bring participants, and spectators, to the Vail area; not just for that particular weekend; but, rather, to acquaint them to the perquisites that Vail has to offer and to entice them to come back not only for the Tourney in subsequent years; but, also at different times of the year. As well, King of the Mountain Volleyball strives to provide and entertaining sporting Event that has appeal to the local residents of the Vail Valley, and its surrounding environs. King of the Mountain Volleyball is a business entity that has been created to produce, market, and promote said Event. The Event is produced by Leon Fell, President of MotherLode Volleyball Productions, LLC, who has the responsibility for all licensing, promotion/marketing, sponsorship sales, and overall production supervision for said Event. The majority of all production services are contracted to professionals who have extensive experience within this particular tournament concept - all of who come under the supervision of the Producer. The demographic that we are stri ving to attract is, primarily, athletic, and outdoors oriented 18 - 35 year old males, females, and couples who are either already in a moderate to higher income bracket; or, those who will soon have more expendable income. As well, we are setting-up a program of promotion directly aimed towards the further development of youth (middle school and high-school aged) involved in the sport and the families that support them. As well, the calendar dates of the Event are set to correspond with the official opening of Vail for the summer season - not yet in full season; but, rather, at the tail end of the off-season in order to attract visitors to the Vail area at a time when tourist traffic is, still, slow but beginning to grow. Sponsorship Opportunities abound for local, regional, and national business concerns. Sponsorship rates have been set at a reasonable level for the inherent nature of this particular sporting Event in this particular locale. Entity exposure is acquired by local, regional, and national advertising. As well, banners and live public address announcements guarantee on-site visibility. Marketing of said Event is promoted via the use of reasonable local, regional, and national sources; including print and electronic media and Internet. The Producers make good use of Press Releases to local, regional, and national media representatives as well as direct mail pieces to all past participants (separate mailings dedicated to both the adult and to the junior level competitors). As well, special considerations have been made towards working with the primary promoters of the sport - USA Volleyball and the AVP Pro Beach Tour. Potential Benefits to the Town of Vail come in the form of increased recognition (especially within the specialized demographic of the sport itself), and continued recognizance, of Vail as an active, healthy, environment as well as in the increase of visitors to the Vail area at a time when the Town has not fully begun its summer season. ? An increase of incremental room nights with the potential to create upwards of 500 room nights (at the present time) over the weekend. ? An increase in spending in restaurants, retail stores, and lodges at a time when the Town has not fully begun its summer season - creating an increase in retail, and lodging, tax income at such a time. King of the Mountain Volleyball is committed to the continued growth of said Event in both the numbers of participants and spectators drawn to Vail due to said Event. King of the Mountain Volleyball Leon Fell, Producer Box 11809 Aspen, Colorado 81612 970-948-0395 ANNUAL VAIL "KING OF THE MOUNTAIN" VOLLEYBALL OPEN June 16-18,2006 Vail, Colorado ATTN: .. Prospective sponsors and supporters. RE: Funding: Annual `King of the Mountain' Open The `King of the Mountain' tourney has a long, and rich, tradition with the Vail area that is going into its 34th year. Last year's event drew 228 teams with approximately 400 competitors and their families attending. With the inclusion of our Juniors Divisions and their tie-in to the Junior Beach National Championships and USA Volleyball Junior Beach High Performance Camps, we can only expect the Event to grow exponentially in future years. The timing of the tourney is set to bring this event to the Vail area during the end of the spring "shoulder" season and to help "kick-off' the opening of Vail's summer season with the official opening of the Lionshead Gondola. As well, the timing allows the tournament to be first BIG event of the year for the Rocky Mountain Region outdoor volleyball season. As such, the Event helps the Vail Commission on Special Events achieve their developmental focus for the time period of May 24 h - June 300'. The demographics of the participants fall directly within the guidelines set out by the Commission for 2003. The mission of the producers of the `King of the Mountain' tourney are simple, and twofold: 1. To provide a quality event for the Vail area with the express goal of bringing newer people to the area to experience the amenities that the resort has to offer as well as providing an entertaining tourney that can be experienced by the local and tourist alike. 2. To continue the tournament's seat as one of Colorado's best outdoor volleyball events. These goals can only be accomplished through hard work, good public relations, community effort, and marketing. The producers intend to provide all of these qualities as well as tying-in good community support to make this event a strong community event with the prestige of a top regional tourney. The monies to support an event of this sort come from sponsorship sales, donations, and registration fees from the participants. Last year's tourney had the support of both national/regional sponsors as well as funding from the local community. All of which are necessary to achieve the aforementioned goals. Last year's event saw more exposure for the sponsors, the event, and the Vail area than has ever been provided in the years prior. This was accomplished by a concentrated marketing effort aimed directly at the participants in the event and indirectly towards the general public on the Front Range and within the easy drive areas of the Summit County, Vail and Roaring Fork Valleys, and Grand Junction. As well, information was sent to players in the surrounding states. These strategies were instrumental in helping to create a new awareness of the event: Direct Mail: Brochures sent to volleyball players in the Rocky Mountain Region, including Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and New Mexico. As well, we have a direct mailing to all junior players in the Rocky Mountain Region promoting both the Event competition and the Junior Beach High Performance Camp. Television: Locally, through the Vail Resorts owned station. Radio: With airtime covering the easy drive areas of Steamboat Springs, Summit County, and the Vail and Roaring Fork valleys. Poster Distribution: Along the I-70 corridor from Georgetown - Grand Junction and in/around the Vail Valley, Glenwood Springs, and the Roaring Fork Valley. This year's strategies will be, virtually, the same. The producer's mission is to grow the event slowly, maintaining a quality tournament format and concept, a consistent annual scheduling, and slowly expanding our marketing so that the tourney will be a strong, and exciting, early season event for many years to come. We look forward to your support.

Sponsorships Highline Sports always has and always will continue to sell sponsorships on its properties to help cover the numerous operating and marketing expenses to make the events successful. Highline has never relied on TOV monies to solely support our events. While SBTV has enough exposure to be attractive to potential sponsors, event management has added a significant number of components and therefore significant expense to the event for 2007 to continue to draw a much larger audience. Event management is leaning on the CSE and Vail Resorts to support the event in a larger way in 2007 to help blow it up to the point where corporate sponsors will continue to follow. Committed sponsors for the 2006 event include... Vail Resorts, Coors Light, Volvo, Ski and Skiing Magazine, and Warren Miller Films. Appendix 3 ? Previous year's event evaluation, including income and expense statement (if existing event). EVENT OVERVIEW - STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES The number one goal of Spring Back to Vail was to bring people to Vail to spend money during the typically slow time of April, especially during an Easter free year. Overall, the event was a phenomenal success! Vail Resorts was extremely pleased, reporting greatly increased skier numbers for the two Spring Back to Vail weeks. Here are some specific strengths and weaknesses for each component of the two weeks of events: WEEK 1 April 4 -10, 2005 4 - Guy's Night Out: March Madness at the Red Lion was incredibly popular as Spring Back played off the playing of the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game. 5 - Girl's Night Out: Fashion & Flix at Samaria. Good attendance throughout the night with local clothing stores showing off their merchandise and Sex & the City playing on TV screens throughout Samana. 7 - Trip Hop, Hip Hop, DJ Spin Night: Competition taking place at Samana, Sanctuary & Fubar that was great for attendees. 8 - Warren Miller Party at Vendetta's was a special event held for the Warren Miller Experience. Only negative was that Vendetta's was packed and it took a while for patrons to get a beverage of choice. - Maceo Parker w/ Little Hercules: Vail Village was the site for approximately 3,500 people for the Friday night opening concert. The weather did not cooperate fully as it was slightly snowing with temps in the mid-30's and definitely affected attendance. 9 - Mid-Vail Concert w/ All Strung Out added to the atmosphere for the skiing guests but did not generate a large crowd. - Warren Miller Experience including filming for next year's movie took place at Golden Peak. This is one of the many incredibly positives to come out of Spring Back as Vail will now receive exposure in the 2005/06 Warren Miller Film for FREE, something that a town/resort would pay tens of thousands of dollars for that type of exposure. - Toots & The Maytals and Mix Master Mike w/ Warren Miller screening was held in Vail Village. The weather cooperated for the over 6,000 attendees. The biggest hurdle to overcome was the change from what was reported via the Vail Daily that Mix Master Mike would play first and Toots & The Maytals would finish the evening. Unfortunately, this changed and actually made for a better atmosphere and the best that Gore Creek Drive has ever rocked. IMPACT, the Warren Miller film screening, was a hit and allowed those who wanted to watch the movie a great viewing and those who wanted to take a break from five hours of entertainment, to go grab a bite to eat or a drink. Overall, the restaurants and bars were packed after the concerts and everyone had a great time. WEEK 2 April 11 - 17, 2005 11 - Guy's Night Out - Hot Dog The Movie at Vendetta's was attended quite well. About 150 people were at Vendetta's over the evening and were entertained with specials from Spring Back sponsors and Hot Dog the movie. 12 - Girl's Night Out at the Sanctuary. Pamper Yourself was the theme of the evening with five local vendors coming out to supply all the women in attendance free massages, manicures and nail treatments, displayed jewelry and provided bath & body fragrances for giveaways. 14 - Coors Light Pub Poker throughout Vail Village at five bars with the final bar being the Red Lion. Good attendance at all bars, great attendance at the Red Lion. 15 - Malay Day at Golden Peak recognized Vail native Josh Malay with a special on- mountain rail jam and post-event party at Art's Bar. - Mid-Vail Concert w/ Slipstream was again designed to provide a value-add for day of skiers - Buckwheat Zydeco w/ Hazel Miller at Ford Park was attended by about 2,500 people. The weather was not ideal and this affected the attendance. Additionally, with the larger Snoop concert and Pond Skimming the following day, we heard from a lot of attendees that they were going out one night instead of two so this definitely affected attendance. Overall, the concert was a great test run for the new venue. 16 - World Alpine Pond Skimming Championships was cut in '05 to 75 participants (from '04 125 participants) in order to speed things up and worked quite well. The beautiful spring weather did not hurt as over 5,000 people took in all that Pond Skimming had to offer. - Snoop Dogg w/ The Game at Ford Park. Pre-sold or comped approximately 6,500 tickets locally through four outlets in the Valley with an additional 1,500 day of tickets sold. The buzz and energy around Snoop was like nothing Vail has ever seen. Having pre-sold tickets was a great way to involve the local community on a first-come, first- serve basis with day-of ticket sales allowing visitors the opportunity to purchase tickets. The demand for tickets was phenomenal with a line of more than 500 to 1,000 additional people waiting to purchase day-of tickets. For next year, consideration should be given to a Ticketmaster type of outlet to purchase tickets. We heard complaints about the lack of restrooms for the concert but there were sufficient port-a-lets at the back of the venue that attendees did not visit. Additionally, the long lines to get into the venue were 45 minutes at their peak time, leading many to feel frustrated with the process. Overall, the Snoop concert brought an incredible buzz, and more importantly visitors, to Vail for the closing weekend, providing a great atmosphere which will have attendees talking about the concert for weeks and months to follow. Overall, the Snoop Dogg concert provided the promoters, town and security a great learning tool to use moving forward into 2006 and beyond on hosting major events in Vail. 17 - Closing Day w/ $10 Lift Tickets with Vail Resorts posting their largest closing day crowd ever and many businesses commenting that they've never seen as much traffic in their stores on closing weekend. 2005 Income Statement Revenues: Estimated CSE Contribution 40,000 Ticket Sales 82,500 Sponsorship 263,000 Beverage Sales 72,000 Entry Fees 1,650 Total Projected Revenues 459,150 Expenses: Event Site: Licenses & Permits 540 540 Event Equipment & Rental Expenses: Signage & Decorations 6,700 Rental Items (dumpsters, porta potties, barricades, etc.) 23,060 Bands, Sound, Support, etc. 265,077 Purse & Course Items 8,750 Misc.

The Town of Vail ROI per dollar spent for Spring Back to Vail attendees was $244.77 (promoter's estimate of $826.78 vs. $431.61 for all events combined) and provided a sales tax ROI of $11.01 (promoter's estimate was $37.21 vs. $19.42 for all events combined). Because of the two previous research findings, the incremental spending of Spring Back to Vail in the Town was 42% higher than all other events combined ($9.8MM vs. $6.9MM). Additionally, if you take the promoter's estimates, this makes Spring Back to Vail THE EVENT for the Town by garnering 317% more incremental dollars spent than all other Town of Vail events combined.

Previous year's event evaluation, including income and expense statement (if existing event). EVENT OVERVIEW - STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES The Inaugural Gourmet on Gore, Saturday, September 3, surprised even it biggest skeptics with an impactful event right out of the gate. With Vail's best restaurants in attendance, accompanied by over 40 wines, Gourmet on Gore offered culinary delights to tempt even the most discerning appetites. From gourmet sliders at the Larkspur booth to tenderloin sandwiches at La Tour, attendees were able to stroll and sample food and wine in an open-air atmosphere with no admission charge. This unique format provided the perfect venue for an easy afternoon in Vail Village. For the vast majority of attendees, Vail merchants and the expo partners in attendance, the inaugural event was an overwhelming success. Gourmet on Gore has secured a foothold as a marquee event during Labor Day Weekend which can be built upon for years to come. Event Strengths: Targeted marketing campaign pulled the "RIGHT" audience. Strong and memorable collateral and advertising. Very clean looking venue with all white tents and nice color palette for linens, etc. Event format of...pay as you go vs. admission charge was welcoming. Strong mix of restaurants and wineries. Live j z made for enjoyable background music. Very strong staff made for one of the best first year events we have produced to date. Event Weaknesses: Need a larger marketing budget to drive additional awareness in the Colorado Front-Range market and beyond. Need to revise expo practices in order to develop a revenue sharing model and fair placement of partners. Restaurants need to prepare more food for future events. Did not anticipate the demand! Wine selection and quantities can be improved upon for future events. All staff, including backline, need to be outfitted in uniforms. 2005 Event Income Statement Revenues: CSE Contribution $25,000 Sponsorship/ 5,250 Expo Wine, Wine Glasses, Water $612 Total Revenues 38,862 Expenses: Event Site: Vail Mt. - TOV Permit 1440 140 Event Equipment & Rental Expenses: Signage, Decorations, Supplies, Uniforms, etc. 5,700 Rental Items (dumpsters, tables, chairs, tents, porta 6,100 potties, etc.) Bands, Stages, Sound 3,350 15,150 Manpower & Related Expenses: Labor/Announcers 6,013 Town of Vail Police, Security 1,600 7,613 Public Relations/Marketing/Advertising: Public Relations 2,700 Advertising/Marketing 6,200 8,900 Administrative: Proposals/Insurance/Supplies/Phone/Postage 6,600 Management Fee 7,500 14,100 Sponsor Relations: Lodging/Entertainment/Gifts/Transportation 1-110. 1,110 Total Expenses: 47,013 Net Income (Loss): ($8,151) Appendix 4 ?

Additional event-specific marketing opportunities may well exist as our relationship with the Ticket To Ride (TTR) Society evolves. Television A one-hour nationally televised program will air on the Outdoor Life Network (OLN) on Super Bowl weekend (the most watched television weekend of the year). This program will most likely reach a potential audience of 70 million homes. OLN has also agreed to air the 2006 Honda Session. With the acquisition of the National Hockey League this coming season, audience numbers could well increase into the 90 million range. In addition, Fuel TV, Rush TV and Ride Guide TV were in attendance at the 2005 event and have all expressed interest in 2006. Each of these shows featured SESSION segments this past spring. From an international standpoint, Norwegian TV (NRK) aired footage of the 2005 event and has already agreed to air the entire one-hour show this coming winter. Advertising/Collateral Posters, DVDs, radio spots, and newspaper advertisements will be distributed to create maximum regional and local awareness for the event. Sponsorship agreements with the Denver Newspaper Agency (Denver Post/Rocky Mountain News) and Vail Daily will be utilized, along with similar agreements with KZYR-the Zephyr and KVBA-TV8. On a national level, a sponsorship agreement with TransWorld Snowboard Magazine will allow for a two-page spread event ad in the January edition (November distribution), along with a full page ad in the February edition (December distribution). Benefits to the Town of Vail This year's goals are to increase event awareness and to maximize incremental room nights and spending within the Town of Vail. In 2003, 61.3% of people surveyed on-site ' stayed within the Town of Vail, 14% stayed down Valley, and 21.3% stayed with friends. Athletes, participants (team managers, pro photo teams, etc.), and media were all responsible for their own lodging in 2003, 2004 and 2005. The VIP tent served one meal ' and a light snack during the event; guests and participants were also responsible for the remainder of their own food and entertainment during this long holiday weekend. A new survey will be taken during the 2006 Honda Session. The Session creates community excitement for a demographic and psychographic important to Vail's growth, yet often overlooked. The need to cultivate this sport is paramount for Vail to keep pace with the rest of the snow sport industry. This vibrant, enthusiastic group of discretionary spenders is not to be left behind. The Vail Valley Foundation aims to keep Vail in first place by providing world-class events in a world- class surrounding. Return on Investment for the Town of Vail ?

These newspapers are distributed statewide, have a combined weekday circulation of 921,000 and reach more than 50 percent of our target audience in the six- county Denver/Boulder Metro areas. From a local perspective, a series of event-related ads were run in the Vail Daily and Vail ' Trail, beginning two weeks prior to the Ski Classic, promoting the overall schedule of events, the Legends Downhill, the Ford Cup and the Mountain of Hope benefit. A comprehensive special section devoted entirely to the Ski Classic was produced by and distributed in the Vail Daily. Additional copies from a scheduled print overrun were distributed on-site at the event and in restaurants and lodging properties through the Vail Valley. Radio Through our partnership with Clear Channel Radio, we were afforded an opportunity to maximize our radio advertising dollars by running cooperative online and radio promotions on Colorado's leading FM and AM stations. Locally, KZYR-The Zephyr ran KZYR "The Zephyr" also ran a series of Ski Classic radio spots, promoting the various elements of the event. In addition, the station conducted a contest surrounding the Legends Downhill. Call-in winners were each paired with a Ski Legend. On race day, if the respective Legend won, the caller did, too. Television A 60-minute syndicated television show featuring Ski Classic will air in October, 2005. Produced by Jalbert Productions, the program will reach no less than 86% of the US market. At least 75% of the stations syndicating the show will be affiliated with a major network and the remainder with cable providers. In addition to the nationally syndicated program, HDNet produced a one-hour special on ' the Legends Downhill, which aired a total of three times, twice the weekend following the Ski Classic. ' m Posters Ski Classic posters have become a tradition in the Vail Valley and they are frequently ' sought after as a collectable. More than 750 Ski Classic posters including the public event schedule and sponsor logos were posted at restaurants, retail outlets, grocery stores and specialty shops throughout the Vail Valley. ' Programs The American Ski Classic was prominently featured in the Vail Valley Foundation's ' Winter Events Program, 25,000 of which are distributed along the Front Range, as well as in the VIP bags, magazine racks throughout the Vail Valley, and during the event, in the hospitality tent.

The Board of Directors of the Taste of Vail are proposing to create, market and manage a food and wine event August 24 -28, 2006. The last weekend in August is still a very soft weekend in our otherwise busy June - September summer season. It has become even more challenging to fill over the past few years, primarily due to the change in the start of the school year for many students nationwide. The Taste of Vail would provide an event that brings winemakers, guests and industry professionals from throughout the west. The event would be marketed as a long weekend event, much like the April event was 16 years ago. Currently the Taste of Vail has many more winemakers interested in our April event than we can accommodate. This new event would provide an option to those winemakers that we couldn't accommodate in April to present their products to the very lucrative Vail market. Recent efforts for a food & wine event in the summer have not been as successful as the Taste of Vail believes are possible. We have identified several key reasons why the Taste of Vail is positioned to make this event a success for the entire Vail community. 1. We have an existing database of over 200 wineries to insure that we will bring Winemakers into the town, at their expense, for a 3-night hotel stay. The Taste of Vail attracts the Winemakers & Principal Owners, primarily from California, who travel at their own expense and utilize our lodging; other organizations do not have this relationship that drives revenue. 2. We will create a schedule that will encourage, not hinder existing restaurant business levels. It has been noted that the timing of "Gourmet on Gore" reduced the number of diners at several Vail Village restaurants for the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. 3. We have the necessary guest history for a successful marketing campaign to bring guests in for a 2-night hotel stay from throughout the region. The "Taste of Vail" has a very loyal Front Range following that are expected to support this event. 4. We will begin to market this event in April to destination attendees. As with our April event, The Summer Taste of Vail will be geared toward the consumer with an emphasis on quality. We will work with Wineries and Restaurants that already are familiar with the caliber of event that is "Taste of Vail". There will be a "Sponsors Tent" that will actually be a cluster of the pop-up event tents, ideally on Gore Promenade/International Bridge. "Sponsors" will be solicited from both food & wine supply; Cookware, Linen, Kitchen Equipment etc. and from "Vail Lifestyle" vendors; Fly Fishing, Mountain Biking, Kayak, Climbing etc. This sponsor area will Page 1 of 5 www.tasteofvail.com 10/14/2005 also feature a variety of musical entertainment. Wine Tasting and Food Sampling will be available at designated times as well. The creation of this event is reliant on support from the Town of Vail. The Taste of Vail Board is a working volunteer board that will bring their experience and industry contacts to the table, and into the creation of a successful event.

There will be incentives provided to encourage this. On Friday & Saturday a late night "Bridge Street Shuffle" will be featured. These events will be similar to the Martini Mix Off and will provide incentives/discounts for entrance to those who have ticket stubs/receipts from dining in the village at participating restaurant. These events will be marketed locally and targeted at a younger demographic.

These figures are based only on guests that come into Vail specifically to participate in this event. The Taste of Vail has engaged "Sales Fuel" for the marketing of our winter event, should the Town of Vail chose to support this summer effort "Sales Fuel" will be hired for the creation and branding of this event as well.

Dear CSE Commissioner: We are pleased to present this request for funding to the Town of Vail's Commission on Special Events for consideration in the 2006 budget. We hope you will continue to support the nation's premier spring wine & food festival. The 16th Annual Taste of Vail will be' held on April 5-9, 2006. Celebrate 16 delicious years with us and witness why we are so proud of this spectacular event. The Taste of Vail is a celebration of our world-class lifestyle. In 1990 the Taste of Vail was created by a group of Vpil restaurateurs as a marketing event to showcase the world-class restaurants in Vail. It was created at a time when as soon as the calendar flipped from March to April "2 for 1" dinner specials and "off season" hotel room discounts dominated the local press. As the prestige of the event grew, so did the attendance and the hotel room rates the Taste of Vail attendees pay. Currently event supporters pay a typical room rate of $ 200.00 per room per night for 4.5 nights on the average. The Vail community now boasts more than 20 Wine Spectator award-winning U-Z t° restaurants - the most per capita of any city in Colorado. Thirty-five restaurants - - """ and 5,6 wineries from all over the world were featured last year. An Estimated 5,000 attendees and volunteers were involved in the Taste of Vail in 2005. The Taste of Vail is geared toward the consumer with an emphasis on quality. The Town of Vail is associated with what USA Today identified as one of the "notable food/wine festivals" in the U.S. The Colorado Lamb Cook Off was a success from the guests view; we need your assistance and funding to further develop this element so that it also becomes a promotional and financial success. We are also requesting funding to help jump start our overall marketing efforts, primarily in the acquisition of 30 pop up tents, which would feature Town of Vail logos for additional promotional value to the town. These tents would be available throughout the year for other CSE sponsored events. The Board of Directors appreciates your consideration into funding the Taste of Vail. The Board has made a 3-year commitment to improving our marketing effort & impact. We need your assistance in funding this. Please consider the "Taste of Vail" a Vail tradition that is worthy of your financial support.

Financial impacts are based on the total guests attending from out of town, including winemakers who pay all of their expenses. The Marriott is our host hotel and our room block has filled each of the past few years. The block is 200 rooms at an average daily rate of over $ 200.00. Less than 30% of Colorado attendees are local and not considered in the room revenue estimates. In addition* to the Marriott there are many guests that are repeat guests and winemakers who utilize accommodations from throughout the town. Due to the nature and event schedule, attendees do not stay outside of the town of Vail. Due to the event maturity discount rates and room blocks are not utilized outside of the host hotel.

There are other changes and improvements that may increase total attendance, however we do not have sufficient statistics to estimate this. It should be noted that the Taste of Vail attendees are much less rate sensitive than other groups currently in Vail the 2". week of April. We estimate that other marketing improvements, including an upgraded website with better guest tracking systems will not reap significant rewards until 2007.

WE ARE CERTAIN THAT SHE WILL DAZZLE YOU WITH HER MOUTH-WATERING CREATIONS Traci Des Jardins JARDINIERE AND MIJITA, CHEF/OWNER ACME CHOPHOUSE, MANAGING CHEF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA Traci Des Jardins, Chef/Owner of JARDINIERE and Managing Chef of ACME CHOPHOUSE-both in San Francisco-is one of the country's most acclaimed chefs. She maintains a stellar reputation for her food while con- tinuing to break new ground in her commitment to the environment and the community. JARDINIERE is renowned for its French-based California cuisine, with sophisticated preparations of sea- sonal organic produce, sustainably harvested fish and seafood, and naturally raised meats. ACME CHOPHOUSE is, no doubt, the country's greenest steakhouse. Both venues exemplify the best of California food while being run in a manner beneficial to the employees and the environment. In August 2004, Des Jardins opened MIJITA, a taqueria at the newly restored San Francisco Ferry Building Marketplace. Here Des Jardins will cook from her roots, inspired by the recipes of her Grandmother Salazar, while using seasonal Bay Area ingredients. Des Jardins has accumulated a great number of awards for her culinary prowess including James Beard Foundation "Rising Star Chef of the Year", Food & Wine Magazine's "Best New Chefs" and San Francisco Magazine's "Chef of the Year". JARDINIERE was named Esquire Magazine's "Best New Restaurant", was nominated for "Best New Restaurant 1998" by the James Beard Foundation and has been listed as one of the top restau- rants in the Bay Area by the San Francisco Chronicle each year since opening. While always recognized for her food, Des Jardins has instituted a number of socially responsible programs at her restaurants over the past few years. To date, this program includes raising the minimum wage substantially, recycling and composting, an ESL program for Spanish- speaking workers, Spanish lessons for the management team, increasing the purchasing of organic products from small local farms and offering only sustainable fish.
