Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Marigold Days provides access to participation in the arts for more Minnesotans. Comment cards are collected from participants and visitors. This year an online survey will be added to the website. General observations and stories are related in the final committee meeting and recommendations made for the next festival. New committee volunteers would point to a successful event.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Less than ten percent of vendor comment cards were returned. None had negative comments. Pleasant anecdotes were reported for all activity organizers. In general, the weekend was a big success. We added three new volunteers to the Marigold Days Committee.
