Memo ri tAXiN 12 ESTES PARK tio To: Community Development/Community Services Committee From: Bo Winslow, Fairgrounds and Events Manager Date: September 23, 2010 RE: Fairgrounds/Events Quarterly Report Report: This past quarter has been a busy time for both events and The Fairgrounds at Stanley Park. The summer schedule included several new events drawing great interest and many established shows holding their own. The Wool Market launched our summer season in June. While the workshops experienced a slight decrease in students this year, overall attendance for the weekend was up from last year (8000 vs. 7850). Staff is currently exploring ways to better meet the needs of the customers and is looking forward to new innovations in 2011. Also in June the Rocky Mountain Miniature Horse Club celebrated its 26th year in Estes Park. Participation in this show has been declining for the past few years. In the mid- 2000s attendance was in the 500-600 range. Since 2007 it has hovered in the 330-275 range. Staff continues to work with club members to help them be as successful as possible. The organizers are uncertain at this time how much longer they will be able to continue sponsoring the show. However, they have set tentative dates for the 2011 event. There is a great deal of enthusiasm within the club and the event attracts horses from across the western U.S. The Arabian Horse Show returned again in July, kicking off our busiest month at the fairgrounds. This show brings in horses primarily from Colorado with a few traveling here from neighboring states. The event features many riding disciplines, making it a favorite for the spectators and participants. The Rooftop Rodeo was definitely one of the highlights of the summer. The parade and six evening performances drew record attendance both in spectators and contestants totaling 12,283. The stock contractor is highly respected in the industry for the quality of bulls he provides. The cowboys follow those bulls wherever they go, resulting in a top quality competition. In addition, the Rooftop Rodeo Committee continues to outdo itself with new ideas and never-ending enthusiasm. Just last week the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association named the Rooftop Rodeo one of the top six small rodeos in the nation. This is the largest of the award categories containing over 350 rodeos. The rodeo committee will find out in December who won the top honors. Team penning joined us again in 2010 after taking a year off. This is a fun event for everyone involved. The set-up for this event takes little staff time and it's an easy event to have on the property because the organizers and participants are very self-sufficient. This year the Hunter Jumper Horse Shows experienced varied attendance. The Half Penny and Copper Penny shows were up in the number of participants while the three Hunter Jumper Festival shows were down. The show managers decided to enhance the arenas by bringing in trees, shrubs and other decorations which impressed the participants. They plan to expand the landscaping in 2011and hope this kind of work will help increase attendance in the future. The goal for the show manager is to have a classy show that people talk about and want to attend. Our busiest weekend at the fairgrounds was August 19-22, with four simultaneous events. They were: The Suri Network; Dressage Show; Colorado Senior Pro Charity Rodeo; and the Estes Park Draft Horse Show. The Suri Network held its alpaca show August 19-20. While this is an educational conference set up for participants, the public is invited to view the show. The Paragon Dressage Show returned for the third consecutive year and experienced a significant increase in the number of participants (from 350 in 2008 to 538 in 2010). The show included several international horses, as well as a new horse recently purchased by its owner for a million dollars. This show will continue growing. It will not only be a national show next year, but also possibly an Olympic qualifying event. During this same weekend one of our newest events took place, the Colorado Senior Pro Charity Rodeo. This rodeo was held at the Boulder County Fairgrounds for 24 years before the group decided to come to Estes Park to celebrate its 25th anniversary. While the organizers had hoped to have more spectators in the stands, they loved Estes Park and have already requested dates for next year's event. Our last show of the weekend was another new event, the Estes Park Draft Horse Show. Sixty-three horses took part and it was a huge hit. There was excellent attendance throughout the day, with the farm team races and six -up hitches highlighting the competition. Participants said they have never been to a show where there were so many people watching and exhibiting such great hospitality. The organizers are planning on coming to Estes Park again next year. All of the events scheduled in Town -owned venues went well. This quarter the attendance at Performance Park was up due to the approximately 15 new events hosted there. Bond Park continues to be popular throughout the summer and is on track to be up in attendance numbers as well. The Cowboy Sing Alongs offered Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays continue to be a popular evening activity in the park. The Scandinavian Festival grew this year, while Heritage Festival numbers were off slightly. The Heritage Festival's dates coincided with the busy August 19-22 weekend at the fairgrounds. Organizers of the Draft Horse Show and the Festival worked together to provide a free shuttle for spectators to travel between the fairgrounds and Bond Park. About 50 people took advantage of the transportation. Comments on the new grandstand have been very positive, both within the fairgrounds industry and the local community. Every show organizer this summer has commented on how nice the new facility is. We are continuing to see interest in the facility with three potential new events in 2011. Attached you will find the event attendance figures Year to Date through Scottish Festival. The Events Department uses formulas to estimate many of those numbers. Actual numbers are highlighted in blue.

The events are celebrated with special party menus, favors and occasional entertainment. Meal quality survey results Each July, the Senior Center surveys the dining room and Meals on Wheels customers as part of the United Way funding agreement. 2 During the two -week period, surveys were made available to 176 dining room customers and 36 Meals on Wheels customers We had a 10% return on dining room surveys and a 22% return on Meals on Wheels surveys for a total of 88. responses. In the dining room survey, 89% of respondents totally agreed/agreed that participation in the meal programs provided them with a social benefit; 99% totally agreed/agreed that participation in the meal program provided them with opportunity for increased friendships and 83% of respondents totally agreed /agreed that participation in the meal programs improved their overall well-being. There were similar results from the respondents in the Meals on Wheels survey. Ninety- three percent of respondents totally agreed/agreed that Meals on Wheels allowed them to maintain or restore their health. United Way funding follows the federal funding calendar (July — June). The dining room and Meals on Wheels combined programs served 914 people during the latest 12- month United Way reporting period (July 2009-June 2010). Of the 914 customers, 845 used the dining room program, 69 used the Meals on Wheels program and 10 people used both programs. Seventy percent or 641 meal customers during the 12-month period were year-round Estes Park residents. Of those customers, 218 were new to the program.

One of those recommendations was to regulate the Outdoor Display of Merchandise through the Estes Valley Development Code, instead of through the Sign Code (Estes Park Municipal Code). The existing Sign Code (1) defines the outdoor display of merchandise as a sign, (2) limits the size of the display area, and (3) required the display to conform to locational criteria in Estes Valley Development Code Section 7.13. Staff requests additional guidance from the Committee prior to proceeding with revisions to the Estes Valley Development Code. 1. Is the existing language in the Estes Valley Development code adequate? It provides locational criteria, but not display size criteria. 2. If the existing language is not adequate, staff could draft revisions to: a. Add a limit on the display size to EVDC Section 7.13 Outdoor Storage Areas, Activities and Mechanical Equipment, which allows permanent outdoor displays provided locational criteria are met; and/or b. Add a limit to the display size to EVDC Section 5.3.D.1 Temporary Seasonal and Holiday Sales, which permits outdoor displays for 60 days, with limited locational criteria. The relevant sections of the Sign Code and EVDC are attached. Page 1 of 1 Zoning (10) Standard brand -name signs. Not more than twenty percent (20%) of the total allowable sign area for any permitted use shall be devoted to the advertising of any standard brand -name commodities or ser- vices which are not the principal commodity or service being sold or rendered on the premises, or area not a part of the name of the business concern involved. (11) "Outdoor display, of merchandise to attract business" shall be considered a sign and shall require a permit to be issued prior to display. Measurement of the display area shall be as provided for in Subsection 17.66;080(6) of this Code. The display area shall be limited by inclusion in the total allowable signage. The location of the outdoor display shall conform to Section 7.13 of the Estes Valley Development Code. Outdoor displays are prohibited in the Commercial Downtown (CD) Zoning District. (Ord. 17-02 § 1(part), 2002) 17.66.120 Structural requirements. (a) Construction. (1) General.
