Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project we are bringing in someone to appeal to the 60-70 year old crowd A lot of these people are veterans who have been somewhat forgotten when it come to the arts We have to reach out to the older baby boomer generation. Evaluation will occur through meeting with the performers and then audience members to gauge their reaction to the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

They project meet and excited our goals. In talking to the artist and the attendees both groups were very satisfied to be at this event. We as a small county fair in northern Minnesota would not have been able to provide this opportunity if not for the grant from the Northwest Minnesota Arts Grant.
