Project Overview

The Traverse County Fair would like to book Wanda the Clown through Homeward Bound Entertainment Company from Chanhassen, Minnesota. Wanda is a Minnesota-based wandering clown artist who was previously employed by the Ringling Bros. and the Barnum & Bailey Circus. We would like to hire the Minnesota-based musician Rick Fidler to perform country music for people who attend our fair. We would also like to hire the 8th Hour Band to perform for an evening at our fair.

2023 Fiscal Year Funding Amount
$3,680
Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect that over 100 kids/adults will interact with Wanda the Clown each day she is at our fair. We will assign a board member to follow Wanda through our Midway while she is interacting with community members. We expect 200 people to watch Rick Fidler as he performs. We will have an individual at the door with a clicker to record attendance. We expect 300 people to partake in watching the 8th Hour Band. We will once again have a board member record attendance with a clicker.
