Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
We will offer four high quality music events during the month of July at no cost to participants. Our low-income and elderly find it difficult to attend cultural events and farm families are time challenged. Sunday afternoons, outdoors, should help. This is our 4th year offering free concerts. We listened to requests so are offering lively music late Sunday afternoons. We will do surveys after each concert, track attendance, and interview some of our local residents the first week of August.
Measurable Outcome(s)
We were able to present the 4 quality bands proposed - all playing lively music. Sunday early evenings worked great. Our attendance is growing - especially drawing more of the middle age members of our community.
