Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, the citizens of Polk County and the surrounding area will have a better understanding and awareness of the different music and dance styles of the pioneers who settled in and developed this area. Evaluation will occur through a follow-up meeting with planners and our Society Board of Directors; observations of audience members and their reactions to the performances and project planners; and Board members conversations with audience members.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Considering the increase of approximately 20% in attendance over the previous years numbers and the comments received, we feel that more of our Polk County and surrounding area citizens achieved a greater understanding and awareness of the diversity of the various styles of music and dance performed by our forefathers. The lives those attending our annual event were changed after experiencing high quality performances by experienced and talented musicians.
