Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The 2018 Blaine World Fest event drew approximately 1500 people. The event showcased 98 performing artists, 16 informational booths, and 7 food vendors. There has been a tremendous amount of positive feedback and support for this event, starting with the incredibly large number of comments we received after the event. Phone calls, thank you notes, and event evaluation forms all stated that residents want this to continue to be an annual event and they want to continue to see a variety of cultures represented.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Blaine World Fest 2019 reached an attendance of 1000. We had eighteen cultural and informational booths, and six ethnic food trucks. We promoted composting at this event and reduced waste by two cubic yards. We had twelve volunteers help implement the event.
