Thoughts on Dark Sky 2011
  • Too crowded for residents

  • Telescope area disorganized
  • Long lines
  • Did not know what you were in line to see
  • Food area disorganized
  • Need more seating
  • Need more table
  • Need map handouts to give out at Info booth
  • Should offer shirts
  • Too dark to walk
  • Expand footprint of the festival
  • Too much in a small area
  • Better communication with info booth
  • Special shirts for volunteers
Thoughts on Harvest 2011
  • Carnival sucked
  • Carnival game area was great
  • Liked music (except that the Elvis’s were not great, but liked the idea)
  • Harvest Fest is now branded to have a carnival attached
Thoughts on Winter Carnival
  1. Better identification of staff working events (this goes for all events)

  • Telescope connected to a big screen
  • Better organization of the lines for telescopes
  • More seating
  • Resident area
  • Expand size of festival so it is not so crowded
Harvest 2012
-We should keep the carnival with the name Harvest Festival
  • It is now known as that, so we would be confusing to have the carnival separate
  • Come up with a new name for the resident event in October
    Stricter rules for pumpkins so they do not all
    walk off
