Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We're hoping for a turnout of at least 600 people on the slopes January 25th. We're hoping to see at least 20 new faces at the community workshops at Powderhorn Park. We're also hoping to see sled entries from people who have never participated before.At the end of February we'll be meeting with the advisors and several community members who have been involved now for several years to evaluate the process, the event and to decide on what steps to take to increase the quality of the experience for participants both in the workshops and on the day of the event.

Measurable Outcome(s)

We had fifty-two sleds with over 140 people involved in creating artwork for the event, over 50 of these participants had never been to the Art Sled Rally before. This was year showed one of our highest participation levels yet. The event has become increasingly important in many of our community members yearly rituals. Many have said that the Art Sled Rally is their favorite event of the year.
