Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

International Festival of Burnsville (IFB) proposes to 1) attract 5,000 or more visitors; 2) showcase local talent with sixty or more culturally diverse performing and/or instructional artists; and 3) better know our audience members --random interviews to survey where our guests come from as we 4) celebrate heritage, homeland, and community, with an exceptional shared cultural arts experiece. International Festival of Burnsville compares totals 1) as police officers continuously tally crowd size (estimate area "pockets" as guests ebb and changeover throughout the event; 2) and with a post-IFB count of food tickets and activity tickets sales. IFB planners study 3) crowd responsiveness; 4) how congested is the art gallery with festgoers; and particularly the feedback/comments/suggestions offered 5) on-line at Facebook, IFB's website [www.intlfestburnsville.org], or 6) on program tear-off surveys, and 7) interviews/survey info obtained by volunteers as they stroll through festival.
