Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Bringing our communities together as families gather at the fair to participate in these "Library Day at the Fair" events for children and families.To inspire children with Rachael's positive themes of kindness toward oneself, others, as well as animals, a love of music and dance, and reading and learning. For families to experience the excitement of a live interactive performance and to gain an appreciation for the wide range of talents Rachael Kroog shares in her KidPower program. Anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

All those who attended enjoyed Rachael's program. She had lots of audience participation and the kids loved seeing her interesting animals. Following her program we had an arts and crafts area with bags to color and the kids could do a tie-dye pillow case. Both were lots of fun. There was also some games available to play. The responses from those were so very favorable and they loved the tie-dye pillow cases the most.
