Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this program, Pennington County Fair attendees will have the opportunity to experience Blue Grass and Folk music. There will be an increased appreciation of this music, and the instruments these artists play. Evaluation will occur through observing and counting actual audience members, and a follow-up meeting with planners.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The performances in the free Bandshell at the 2023 Pennington County Fair are an important part of the overall fair experience. Located in the center of the fairgrounds, the bandshell is a popular place to sit, rest and eat while enjoying the performances
