Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

The attendees will learn a little history about polka music, will be introduced to an accordion and will learn new songs. Age-appropriate trivia questions and a special edition of name that tune will relate to different kinds of shows, from the Wright Brothers first air show, to the theme songs from popular children's TV shows. Anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Attendees learned about an accordion and polka music, learned some new magic tricks and songs. Attendees also learned about the anniversary of Apollo and other occupations. Main focus was that everyone is special and wears different hats to contribute to their community. Mike took the time at the end to take pictures with attendees and took the time to answer audience questions.
