2008 DaddylDaughter Date Night Evaluation
The DaddylDaughter Date Nights were held on February 9 & 10 at the Recreation
Center. Both nights were a great success with 79 couples attending between the
two nights. The event continues to be successful with many participants returning
multiple years.
Caterer
Millie's Deli (Chanhassen) served dinner at this year's event. The menu
included: Chicken nuggets, French fries, baby carrots, peaches, brownie, milk &
pop/water. The price and service from Millie's Deli was excellent; however, I
will change the menu for more variety. I recommend them for next year's event.
Dance
All Time Favorites served as the DJ once again for this year's dance. The DJ did
a great job of getting the group involved. Most of the participants remained on
the dance floor once the music began. I recommend using their services again
next year. Ask for Sandy Lee as aDJ.
Face Paintin2
Maund Entertainment provided the face painter for this year's event. Designs
were done in moderate elaboration upon request to keep the wait time down. The
face painter met our requests with great results. I recommend using their services
again next year.
Balloon Sculptor
Maund Entertainment provided a balloon sculptor making balloon designs for the
youth participants. I recommend using their services again next year and request
more elaborate designs.
Photo2rapher
Shutterfly Studio was hired to take the daddy/daughter portraits again this year.
The portraits were of high quality and very professional. I highly recommend
inviting them back again next year.
The City 01 Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

General Comments/Su2:2:estions
. Continue running the event for two nights on Friday and Saturday night. This
allows kids an opportunity to participate on a non-school night.
. Using the lobby area for registration and photo taking helped with traffic flow.
. As many couples are returning for multiple years, continue looking for new
ideas to keep the event fresh.
. Look to add additional activities pre and post dinner such as coloring sheets
and crayons on the tables as well as a bean bag or heart (ring) toss game to
help keep the girls engaged through the program.
. Monitoring food servings took place to ensure enough food for all
participants. I recommend continuing this practice.
. Look to increase program maximum to 50 couples, up from 45 this year.
. Each child received a balloon again this year attached to a small bag of candy.
I recommend continuing this practice.
