Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The Ethnic Fest will increase their performing stages from 3 to 4 stages this year to accommodate an increased variety of performers. The Ethnic Fest will increase attendance by 5%. The Ethnic Fest will feature more Native American performers then in previous years and have one stage that is devoted to showcasing Native American performances and history. We will set up, decorate and contract performers for 4 stages this year. This goal will be met before the actual festival. We will keep an attendance count by number of buttons sold to those listening to our performers. We have made the commitment to find enough artists to have one stage focus entirely on the Native American culture.
