200 people will attend the Poetry and Pie Picnic. 50 attendees will write positive comments into a Poetry and Pie Picnic Poetic Guest book. We will designate a person to count attendees. We will also lay out 200 plates and count how many are left over, or count how many more we need to add. We will also go around to blankets with the Poetic Guest book and ask people to write poetic responses to the event, both affirmations and criticisms.
200 people attended this event. 25 people wrote in our guest book responses to the event, but then the book was taken, sadly. It was a very nice book. Next year we will just have a box where people can write down comments on pieces of paper and put them in the box.
