Measurable Outcome(s)

The Clarissa Community Military History display proved to be a tremendous success. Recently during the celebration of Clarissa Days Festival, many visitors were amazed at the stories of the local soldiers whose stories were included in the display along with their military uniform and picture. There have been more visitors to view the display since it was installed by our guest book register. The register also states that we had visitors from other areas of the county and state. Some youth of the community liked reading the stories and viewing the military articles in the floor display. During discussion with some of the visitors and veterans we learned about stories of other local veterans that could be used in future displays. We expect more visitors from newspaper articles and pictures and articles on our website.
