ACHF Arts Access
One of our goals is to increase participation in future events sponsored by the Dassel-Cokato Arts Association. We feel if we provide a very positive experience to our audience, they will want to come back to future performances/events. We want our community to know that they can trust the Arts Association to always bring in only good quality, family-friendly programming to our community, and always at very affordable prices. We will be able to track future events with the names of those attending this event by our ticket-selling program. The survey we will provide to all those in attendance, will also help us with future programming. The surveys will be collected after the performance and read and evaluated the board of directors of the Dassel-Cokato Arts Association at our meeting following this performance.
Based on ticket sales, total attendance was 128, 3 more people than anticipated: 115 Adult and 13 Youth. According to all the surveys returned the program was very well received, historically significant, funny and extremely enjoyable to all everyone we heard from! All respondents agreed the ticket prices were affordable! Also, 49 responded YES (with zero NO responses) to the question: "After attending this performance, are you more likely to attend future events sponsored by the DCAA, either here or at the Dassel-Cokato Performing Arts Center!"
