Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Everyone was expected to learn something about the animals that Christian brought. All were expected to enjoy the program.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The children loved this program! Our local nursing home came with a van of elderly who also loved this show. Everyone in the room learned many useful pieces of information about the animals that Christian brought. One young lady wanted to know if she could trade her dog for the dingo. We noticed our books on the animals that Christian brought were checked out and some requested rom other libraries. 114 people attended this program.
