Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Our goals are to meet or exceed the high participation levels of previous Sidewalk Poetry Contests, to increase participation in the Poem in Your Pocket and Capstone events, and to imprint 8-10 additional poems in the sidewalks of downtown Northfield where they are accessible to all.We will measure these outcomes by counting the number of poets participating, along with the number of poems submitted to the contest. We will also count the individuals participating in our Kick-off and Capstone events. We will document the installation of the new poems in our city sidewalks.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendance increased. We estimated that 130 people participated in the celebration. Some interested people even came from outside Northfield.
