Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project a broad range of people including adults, seniors, children, teenagers and families will build community by enjoying old time music together. Evaluation will occur through interviews of several audience members and counting attendees by age group. Follow up and feedback will also be obtained from comments on the Good Old Days Facebook page.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Overall the Woodpicks concert was well attended by a broad spectrum of people, mainly from Viking and the surrounding area. The audience enjoyed the music and the sense of community. The event fit well with the Good Old Days theme. It was fun to see folks sitting with their dogs, or family, enjoying the music. Grant funds were very instrumental to our being able to include arts/music in our Good Old Days activities.
