Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, our goal is for attendees of all ages to our local festival will be excited with anticipation before the event, to experience the event, and to share with their family and friends about their experiences after the event. The evaluation will occur through observation of the audience the Ada Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors visiting with attendees after the events.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Because of the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council Grant the the Ada Chamber of Commerce received for our 2021 Fun in the Flatlands festival, we have the best one that we have ever had! We were able to have a huge variety of art events and shows with the goal to attract people of all age groups and different interests to our festival. We had record breaking attendance and found that many people traveled from over 70 miles away to attend. We are very thankful for the help and proud of our event!
