Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Ross Sutter was part of the Irish Trio that was here earlier this year. He returns this time with his brother. His group was very popular and we expect people who liked them previously to return.
Measurable Outcome(s)
The brothers had a great turnout. They really enjoy visiting our libraries and everyone who came enjoyed speaking with them. Comments included: "I always enjoy hearing music from different cultures!", "I'm so happy he's come back," "Enjoyed Swedish songs -- brought memories of childhood days," "Keep bringing programs like this to the library." Several guests came from Baudette which is 40+ miles away just to listen to their music.
