The mission of Aitkin County Friends of the Arts is "to inspire performing arts in our community". The presentation of Jennifer Grimm Singing Judy Garland will bring energy to the historic place where she began an illustrious career in theater and on stage. The presentation and exhibit will be an educational and enjoyable event for the residents of Aitkin County. Ms. Grimm will be accompanied by an 11 piece band which adds to the rich quality of a musical experience. The measurable outcomes will be to sell 250 tickets and have 300 people view the exhibit. We will view the audience interaction with the performers and will have visitors sign a login at the exhibit. We will assess the ticket sales and account for the number of people attending the exhibit. Observations and conversations will help to determine the success.
