2009 Daddy/Daughter Date Night Evaluation
The Daddy/Daughter Date Nights were held on February 13 & 14 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 each year.
Caterer
Millie's Deli (Chanhassen) served dinner at this year's event. We featured a new
menu which included: chicken drumsticks, kettle chips, baby carrots, mandarin
oranges, cupcake, milk & pop/water. The price and service from Millie's Deli
was excellent. 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 a DJ as she continues to provide great
entertainment.
Games/Activities
New to the program this year were additional games and activities at the
beginning of the evening. Coloring sheets and crayons were placed on each table
and two carnival-style games were available for participants to play. These
activities were received well and I would recommend continuing this in the
future, but look to change selected games periodically.
Face Paintine:
Maund Entertainment provided the face painter for this year's event. The face
painter's time at the event was extended to accommodate more participants.
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 who made 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.
General Comments/Su22estions
. Continue running the event for two nights on Friday and Saturday night. This
allows kids an opportunity to participate on a non-school night.
. Continue to make the heart count and candy guess harder so there are not
multiple winners.
. Continue to use the new room layout as it worked well with 2 long tables in
the middle and the food pushed all the way up against the wall in Room 1.
. 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.
. We monitored food servings to ensure there was 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.
