Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
People should be able to take away from the program a sense that Minnesota history and folklore is not just old stories from the past, but a living thing, a breathing history, they can still experience for themselves.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Presenter's stories were very good examples; good volume and knowledge of his stories. Audience particularly liked that the stories were local and familiar places.
Also added to the entertainment was Chad’s unique back stories and detailed information about the various locations.
Audiovisuals really added a lot to the stories.
