Plan to hire at least 7 entertainment groups for all to enjoy.We have count clickers that we use at the entrance, tallying each count on the hour to allow to plan for staffing needs each day (utilize previous year's data for staffing the next year). We also have count clickers in the Children's Activities Tent and the Art Experience Tent with demos and community art projects. We use artist surveys annually and distribute them to the artists and also food vendors and sponsors. We have surveys for patrons given by volunteers. We also have a blog and Facebook page for dialogue feed back and we collect zip codes on the evaluation forms and through a Passport to the Arts system. As the volunteers hear comments and take questions throughout the days - notes are taken.
