Project Overview

We are planning to bring several musical groups to the fair that will highlight the cultural heritage of our county. We are rich in German and European culture in our area and will be bringing several polka bands in for afternoon entertainment. We will also be including a chainsaw artist this year and are very excited for the new demonstrations that he will be bringing to the grounds. We will bring a blacksmith to the fair as well for demonstrations, something that we have been working to include at our fair for some time.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

As a free fair we have a large number of fairgoers come and go throughout the day. We plan to get an estimated attendance of individuals in the historic area of the grounds throughout the demonstrations with a board member being present and keeping track as well as having the artist give an estimated number of onlookers per day as well. During the music entertainment volunteers will take estimated attendance numbers during the concerts.
