Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a result of this project, residents of Warren and the surrounding area will share with others their love of the music they experienced and encourage more people to participate next year. Evaluation will occur through conversations with participants during and after the event along with counting the audience. An on-line survey will be conducted at the end of the series to evaluate the participation reaction and the emotional reaction.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Facebook ended up having a much greater reach for audience in 2022 than 2021. It appears that people were sharing and commenting more since they enjoyed the event the previous summer. The engagement of almost 25,000 is overwhelming.
