Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
More Northfield area residents will engage in free grant funded access to musical or artistic performances held in various parks in the community throughout the summer, than the number that took advantage of the grant performances last year. Data collection through surveys taken at each performance is the way we will measure our expected outcome. Data collection will help to determine audience numbers and will provide feedback on the quality of performances offered.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The goal was to have more participants attend Books and Star's this summer than last year. That was accomplished. We had about five hundred more attendees than last summer. That goal was met though advertising and good weather.
