Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

More Northfield area residents will engage in free grant funded access to musical or artistic performances held in various parks in the community throughout the summer, than the number that took advantage of the grant performances last year. Data collection through surveys taken at each performance is the way we will measure our expected outcome. Data collection will help to determine audience numbers, quality of performance and library cards and materials checked out.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We did not meet our goal of having more participants than last year. It is believed that this was due to having to move three of the eight performances indoors due to poor weather.
