County Fair Legacy Project
We would like to use the Legacy Funds to provide live musical free entertainment during the fair. The Sloughgrass band is a local Minnesota musical group. We would like them to perform two days of the fair. We would also like to do a Landscape Photography "lecture" and show at this years fair featuring Ben Sunne, a local Minnesota photographer who specializes in Landscape Photography. The interest in Landscape Photography has grown over the past few years and this would be a real benefit to the entire community. We will need to upgrade the Photography display area including some new drywall and track lighting.
We expect that 75-100 people will visit the photography display. We will post a "visitor's log" to track attendance. We can expect the same amount will attend the lectures given as well., , It is harder to track attendance at the musical performances since the stage is a free stage and is located in an area between the food trucks, but we expect many people mill about and take in the music while waiting on food, etc. I would estimate that 500-750 people will take in the music over the course of the two days of performances.
