Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees will enjoy a musical or cultural event as families and as a community. Kids will expand their background knowledge through books, crafts and activities based on the theme.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Over 400 kids and adults enjoyed the five events, all with a performer and 3-4 supporting crafts and activities. Evaluations rated the quality as 4 or 5 out 5, and many mentioned how much the kids enjoyed the program. The City of Prior Lake partnered with the library, providing the venue, staff, and funding for the kickoff performer, the Choo Choo Bob Show. Many families also commented on how it was great to have something fun to do with their kids on a cold winter day. The team of 5-6 youth volunteers gained valuable experience working with kids.
