Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

We expect to have more students take part in the student art contest which is part of Art in the Park compared to previous years. We will work to improve the collaboration between Zumbrota Area Arts Council and the Zumbrota-Mazeppa schools and other area Saturday Art in the Park exhibitors will be given an evaluation form to get their opinions on how the event was run and what can be done to improve the experience. Onsite, random surveys will be used at Tuesday concerts to get ideas for next year.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Participation of adult: Goal 5750, Actual 6513.
