Older adult involvement and engagement: 1. Outcome: 40 older adults attend Paramount Matinee events: Result: we purchased 40 tickets for older adults to attend our two outings at the Paramount Theater and all tickets were used. 2. Outcome: 30 – 40 older adults use the VIP tent at the community concerts. Result: we had a sign in sheet at the tent which we tried to monitor to ensure sign-ins. We had 53 sign in but we know there were many more that stopped in. We received many comments on the value of the tent. At the wrap-up meeting the Holdingford city representative made a point of addressing the value of the tent and consideration for additional tents next year. We also noticed that there were families with young children stopping in to the tent which created an unexpected intergenerational gathering place. 3. Outcome: 90 percent of evaluations and conversations reflect the joy and value of the program. Result: Surveys showed a satisfaction rating of 4.75 on a scale of 1-5. We also received numerous positive anecdotal comments on the events. Our pictures also reflect the joy and value of the program. 4.

Community building: 90 percent of Chamber of Commerce and city government officials provide positive feedback on the program.
