The Brazos County Expo hosted 155 events over 306 days in FY 2013, up from 140 events over 262
days in FY 2012. More than 82,000 visited the Expo to attend horse and livestock events, trade shows,
parties, the Brazos Valley Fair & Expo, and other events, up 171/6 from FY2012. Expo receipts paid by
event organizers totaled $680,300, a 27% increase over FY2012. Total receipts, including stall and
equipment rentals and sales of stall shavings paid by individuals rather than event organizers, totaled

'The miscellaneous category includes the Brazos Valley Fair & Expo with 15,719 tickets.
The table above includes partnership events. Partnership events are held at the Expo but likely
would have been held in Brazos County regardless. Some partnerships are part of larger events for
which the Expo hosts only one component (e.g., the Special Olympics athlete village and the TTI
fajita fest). Other partnerships reflect the availability of the Expo for local events such as the
county /districts clerks association banquet. These partnership events are not included in the analysis of
,pending and economic impacts.
2
Vol. / ?3 Pg. .�?7r
Revenue - generation is a priority for Expo management and staff, but Expo visitors generate
more economic activity in Brazos County outside the complex than within it. Crompton and
Culpepper note that publically owned facilities are often important parts of the economy because they
attract visitors and non -local spending.' Indeed, such facilities are often built with a goal of garnering
such outside spending as well as providing a venue for local events and fostering pride in the
community through hosting a variety of events. The spending component of the facility's purpose
suggests the appropriateness of an economic impact study.
Section 11. Spending and Impacts of Surveyed Events
During FY2013 (October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013) a total of 39 events were
surveyed, including 20 events for which individual participants were surveyed and 19 events for which
event organizers were surveyed. Reported spending and economic impacts in are based on the 20
events surveying individual participants. These 20 events represent 73 booked days involving 13,400
people. The 19 organizer- surveyed events represent an additional 24 days with 17,000 people. Results
from the event organizer surveys are discussed in Section IV.
Each surveyed event had a different spending pattern. Average spending per person, as
reported in surveys, was multiplied across the respective event attendance to determine total event
spending. The spending by category for the 20 participant- surveyed events is summed in Table 2 for
both visitors to Brazos County and locals.

The direct spending by visitors to the Expo Complex is not the only benefit to the local
economy. Economic contribution analysis is based on the idea that a dollar spent in a region stimulates
additional economic activity, or multiplies as it circulates through the economy. This multiplier effect
recognizes that the total effect on output, employment, personal income, and government revenue in
the region is greater than the initial dollar spent. A visitor's expenditure at a local restaurant or store
contributes not only to that business, but to its suppliers and its suppliers' suppliers (the indirect
effect), the incomes of each of their employees' who then spend their earnings (the induced effect),
and tax revenues. Of course, some of the original expenditure leaks out of the regional economy, for
example as inventory is imported from other regions, employees commute from other regions, and
businesses and households pay state and federal taxes.
Multipliers are calculated based on the purchasing patterns of industries and institutions in the
regional economy. The total effects are the sum of direct, indirect and induced for each of the
outcomes: employment, labor income, total value added (contribution to gross regional project) and
Vol. /i3 pg. ..9 79
output (gross sales). Only expenditures by visitors are included in the economic impact analysis
because their spending represents new money in the county economy. It is assumed that local county
residents might have spent their money elsewhere in the county if they had not attended an Expo
event; thus there is no economic impact. Access fees are excluded from the impact analysis because
the fee is often paid to an event sponsor located outside Brazos County, and much of the fee is likely
an immediate leakage from the local economy.
Three types of multiplier effects are reported in the impact analyses. The Output or sales
multiplier measures the effect of external spending on overall economic activity in the region. The
output multiplier provides the largest economic impact value and therefore is reported in many studies;
however, the output multiplier says nothing about how the event affects the welfare of households or
the profitability of businesses.
The value -added multiplier is a more appropriate measure of regional welfare. The value -
added multiplier measures Expo visitors' contribution to regional gross domestic product (GDP). It is
the value added to the regional economy or the return to local resources used in the production of
goods and services in Brazos County.
The labor Income multiplier is part of the value -added multiplier but is often reported alone.
The wage and proprietor's income multiplier measures the effect of final demand spending on the
incomes of households in the region and is appropriate for discerning the benefit of an event to a
region's residents.
The employment multiplier measures the effect of the event on regional employment.
Calculation of the employment multiplier assumes that existing employees are fully occupied and does
not distinguish between full -time and part-time workers.
The original $2.8 million direct economic contribution from visitor spending (less access fees
paid to entities outside Brazos County) leads to a total county-level economic output of $4.4 million
and 58.0 full - and part-time jobs annually (Table 3)." This total contribution includes a $2.7 million
contribution to gross regional product and a $1.7 million contribution to labor income across the
region. Labor income is a component of value added, which is a component of output, so the figures in
Table 3 cannot be summed. Again, these impacts represent only the 20 events for which participants
were individually surveyed in FY 2013.

Section III. Spending and Impacts Extrapolated Across Event Types.
Not every event could be surveyed due to constraints on staff and volunteers as well as the
characteristics of the events themselves. However, non- surveyed events also contribute to the local
economy. Each event, and each individual participant, has a different expenditure pattern, although
similar types of events tend to produce similar spending patterns. A different sample of events is
surveyed each year in order to capture the spending patterns of a broad array of events.
To improve the reliability of expenditure data, a three - year - average will be used beginning in
fiscal year 2014. In 2013, categorized expenditures for each event type were averaged for the 2012 and
2013 fiscal years. Spending averages were weighted by person -days of the surveyed events in each
event category. Expenditures in 2013 were notably higher than consumer price index - adjusted 2012
expenditures, due in part to garnering larger shows associated with higher - spending clientele.
Therefore, 2013 average expenditures per person per event -day were also used to extrapolate
expenditures across event types. The 2012 -2013 average and the 2013 calculation are presented in the
tables to provide a range of expenditures and impacts. Only the 2012 -2013 average is discussed in the
text.
Horse shows made up 22 of 155 events at the Expo (14 %). Using 2012 -2013 average
spending, an estimated $653,600 was spent by out -of -county participants and attendees at the 22 Expo
horse shows in FY 2013, resulting in an economic impact of $1.0 million in output and 13 jobs (Tables
4 - 6). Note: Ropings and barrel races were reclassified as other equine events rather than horse
shows in 2013, so horse show numbers are not comparable to the 2012 report.

Reliability of spending data will be improved as more data is available to complete a three -
year average. Future data collection will target conferences and meetings to better extrapolate
spending across these event types.
Section IV. Spending Associated with Private Events.
The Expo hosts many private events, including fundraisers, organizational banquets, dances,
and receptions. Surveying the attendees of such events is inappropriate. However, the organizers of 19
private events were surveyed regarding their expenditures in 2013, representing approximately 17,000
attendees, including at least 7,600 visitors to Brazos County. Some of these events were partnership
events, including the Texas Transportation Institute community event and Faj ita Fest and the Chamber
of Commerce Youth to Career Fair. Other events were primarily local in nature, such as Extension and
Coalition for Life banquets. Other organizer- surveyed events included other banquets and lunches,
wedding receptions, Taste of the Brazos Valley, and the Special Olympics Athlete Village. Data
Vol. / 9.Y pg. 02
provided by event organizers reflects costs of the event beyond fees paid to the Expo, but they do not
include individual participants' expenditures.
Average reported expenditures to host an event were almost $6,700 in addition to Expo
charges. Expenditures were highly variable across event types and sizes. The median expenditure was
lower at $3,500 per event with a range of $0 to $39,000. Even at the lower median, these expenditures
total $248,500 across the Expo's calendar of private events. Food and catering charges were a large
category with average expenditures of more than $3,700 per organizer- surveyed event. Entertainment
was an important category for banquets and receptions, although expenditures varied widely by type
of entertainment (e.g., DJ versus band). Some organizers reported substantial local advertising
expenses. Several event organizers also blocked rooms at local hotels for guests; however, hotel block
data were not sufficient to extrapolate across events. Hotel and other expenditures by participants were
not included in organizers' responses.
Wedding receptions averaged $6,000 in food costs (excluding alcohol) and $1,000 to $2,500
for flowers and decorations, plus $500 to $1,200 for entertainment (e.g., DJs). Extending these
spending patterns over 18 wedding receptions in FY2013, expenses in just these three categories
totaled more than $150,000,
Section V. Summary
Across the five types of events extrapolated, visitors to the county spent an estimated $3.3
million, calculated by average FY 2012 -2013 spending. These visitors contributed approximately $5.1
million in total sales and 67 full and part-time jobs across the county economy. When the larger 20t3
spending figures are used, visitors spent almost $3.9 million, contributing $6.0 million and 79 jobs in
Brazos County,

The above estimate does not reflect the expenditures of people attending wedding receptions
and other private events at the Expo, which are discussed in Section IV. Nor does it reflect the value of
expenditures by locals attending Expo events or the value of having a venue where locals can host and
10
Vol. / 93 Pg. 9fY
attend community events. Furthermore, this analysis does not include the value of the Expo's own
sales and expenditures, which resulted in an economic impact of $1.4 million and 13 jobs in FY2013
(Table 19). The impacts of the Expo's operations include a portion of access fees and participant
charges (e.g., for stall bedding); thus operations impacts cannot be summed with the expenditure
impacts above.
