As a result of this project, all area residents of Warren will feel a greater community connection and meet new friends and neighbors to encourage more community musical experiences. Evaluation will occur through questionnaires handed out at the events and returned to boxes that evening. There will also be a SurveyMonkey done online for larger exposure. A count will be kept on the attendance. Social media posts will be monitored for comments and to gauge success. Each concert should have increased attendance from the previous one.
The concert series gained in popularity as the summer progressed. Word of mouth brought more and more people out to enjoy music, conversations, company and food trucks. The last two concerts had three food vendors; an unexpected result having ethnic food trucks participate. All ages participated from birth to 100 years old. The park was packed by the last concert and people were begging for more. The summer concert series was a great addition to the community.
