Merchandise sales exceeded $400,000 through the end of November, and continued strong
throughout December. A winter sale was held in December, and another sale is planned in the

begins the week of January 15, and so far 40 teams have signed up. The winter pass sale has begun.
Marketing: The recent podcast was successful, with 200,000 downloads. A Spokane news station
plans to do a remote broadcast from the Old Works this year. The golf course is participating in

which will result in significant marketing for the course.
