Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Combined attendance of at least 4000 people at (a) the 2017 St Patrick's Day Celebration and (b) the 2017 Day of Irish Dance. Combined participation by at least 400 musicians, dancers, speakers and other performers (at least 50 adults and at least 350 youth) at the two 2017 events referred to above. We will evaluation attendance by tracking ticket sales and by making contemporaneous records regarding free or reduced price admissions (for the physically or mentally handicapped, senior groups from adult day care facilities, etc.). We will also document the number of performers via the contracts that we enter into with them and by asking larger groups (such as Irish dance schools) to verify the exact number of performers that they will be providing.

Measurable Outcome(s)

More than 6000 audience members attended one or more of over 60 individual art-related performances and activities (instrumental music, vocal music, dancing, acting, seminars, etc.) spread over two full days at the historic Landmark Center in St. Paul. Those two days of entertainment featured a total of 100 youth and adult musicians, 1043 youth and adult dancers, and 9 actors and storytellers.
