Project Overview

We would like to use the Legacy grant to help fund Minnesota bands in our entertainment building. This year we are looking at a "rock" band for Friday night, which will attract the younger crowd to the fair. On Sunday we highlight Senior Citizens, Farm Family Recognition and have a musician that plays old country and gospel music. For the younger youth on the fairgrounds we have free face painting on the grounds Saturday.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

For the Friday band, everyone entering is issued a wrist band, so we need to just keep track of the number of wristbands issued - around 250. For Sunday's Senior Recognition and Farm Family entertainment, we can easily do a head count - estimated around 150. For face painting we can have the face painters keep track of the number of kids.
