2005 February Festival Evaluation
Food and Drink Concessions
The Chanhassen Lions served and operated the concessions again at this year's
festival. With the warm weather, the Lions had a great day of selling items. I
would invite them back to next year's festival if they are interested.
Bonfire
Even though the weather was warm, the bonfire was still used quite consistently
throughout the day. I would recommend continuing this activity for next year.
S'more CookoutJBait Sale
The Chanhassen Boy Scouts sold s'more kits and bait again at this year's festival.
They were extremely successful in the selling of both of these items. I would
recommend inviting them back to next year's festival if they are interested.
Skatinl! Rink
Due to the warm weather and the poor ice conditions we had to close the family
ice skating rink. It is a nice addition to the event so I will definitely incorporate it
into next year's event.
Slidinl! Hill
The sliding hill was pretty popular ¡his year. Again, it is a great activity to have
in addition to the fishing contest. I would recommend that the sliding hill be
incorporated into next year's Feb Fest.
Medallion Hunt
The Friends of the Library developed the clues for this year's medallion hunt.
The clues were given out the week leading up to Feb Fest, with the final clue
given out on Sunday, February 6. I would recommend that we continue the
Medallion Hunt in the same capacity next year as it gets the community more
involved.
Ice Fishinl! Contest
A total of 1,061 tickets were sold for the contest-213 tickets were sold through
advance sales and 848 were sold the day of the event. Ticket sales were up by
29 tickets from 2004. The contest went smoothly and there were a lot of fish
caught!
General Comments/Sul!l!estions
~ We labeled the door prizes on the master list with a number that
corresponds with the prize (#1, #2, etc.). This made it easier for prize
board volunteers to disperse prizes.
~ Continue announcing door prize winners by both their name and by their
ticket number. A lot of people don't pay attention to their ticket number.
This helps alleviate all the congestion in front of the prize board after the
contest.
~ Continue putting a black mark on the back of each winning door-prize
ticket. This makes it a lot easier to find any unclaimed winners.
