Project Overview

With this grant we will be bringing in performers and entertainment to our Fair Square Stage and strolling acts. Our goal is to enrich the cultural experience of our community by providing access to diverse and engaging arts programming during our fair. This will allow us to showcase local Minnesota based talented artists and performers, fostering a deeper appreciation for arts and cultural heritage among our fairgoers.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

By featuring a diverse lineup of performers, we anticipate a full crowd each night at our Free Stage. This usually will amount to well over 200 people each night. We have a volunteer that will count how many people attend each show and reports results back to the fair board. Since this is a free stage people can come and go, but our volunteer will be down there throughout the evening and will compare notes with our host emcee who will also be counting the attendance of each show.
