Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Outcome for Music in the Park is that the event provides a completely free opportunity for residents of Minnesota to enjoy some artists and musicians in a beautiful outdoor setting. This event will provide an opportunity for residents of Big Lake and many surrounding communities, including all age groups, to get engaged with their neighbors, outdoors, parks and lakes. It will provide an opportunity to not only listen to the great artist, but also to sing and dance. Music in the Park will be evaluated by conducting a vehicle count at each performance, as there is only one entrance/exit to Lakeside Park. Also, a head count will be conducted at each performance. In addition to the head count, Legacy Foundation of Big Lake and the City of Big Lake will have a Facebook page for the audience to comment. The City of Big Lake also has a website where people can leave their comments. Audience engagement will be measured informally by audience response.

Measurable Outcome(s)
