Best was open to public, worst was attendance. Need more community involve- <br />ment, better hours. Need more & wider pre event publicity, possibly involve <br />community groups or indididuals in planning and helping during event. <br />Best part was hands on driving /operating. <br />Best part was being open to the public, worst was being limited to one area <br />of display. Need to be sure to have a desiginated prize for such things as <br />guessing the weight of the gravel on the dump truck. Also running later would <br />make the event more successful. <br />Best was displays & equipment operation. Worst was not having enough time to <br />get to see it all. Need to make sure there were enough relief people so we <br />could see the event also. Everyone I talked to said it was ekcellent. <br />Best was seeing the people have a good time. Worst was it turned out to be a <br />long day. Need to change nothing. <br />Best was it gives employees a chance to show what they do. Worst was that it <br />was not well attended by department especially top management. Need better <br />attemdance by both the city and the public. <br />Letting public operate the equipment was best, worst was standing in the <br />parking lot all day. Need to have more relief for employees. I think it is <br />a good idea letting the public see the equipment and how it operates. <br />Best was letting people actuallly handle the equipment. Worst was parking <br />problems early in the day. <br />Best was operating equipment. <br />Best was (as per the public) the rides and demos. Worst was that some <br />employees were not doing anything but standing around and some even playing <br />basketball. Need to find more jobs for those with free time, allowing more <br />times for others for a break. I thought the whole thing went very well and <br />from public stand point; they really enjoyed it. The only disappointment was <br />that young children could not ride in lift bucket. We need to have a small <br />belt made that will fit kids. <br />Best was displays of equipment, the excitement of the little folks and opera- <br />tion of various types of equipment. Worst was area was too large to tour. <br />Need to decrease area. Very good job of coordination.. Need to provide larger <br />signs for displays, equipment and routing of public. <br />Best was running the back hoe and gradeall. Worst was standing on my feet for <br />s00000 long. Need to change - get more people to come from the public and see <br />that they get through the entire facility including Transportation. We need <br />to be a lot more aggressive in getting our school aged people here and use <br />that as advertisement in order to get the parents here also. <br />Best was the kids, employees involved and enjoying it. Some had more fun than <br />guests. Worst was the opening ceremony was horrible. You couldn't hear and <br />who wanted to. Have a ceremony, only make it nore interesting. Did not even <br />know the speaker! Have Gleason and Whitlow, etc. stick around like they do <br />for other events. Here are ones I heard from public: have kids tours all <br />day, better publiciity, have hot dogs, should last longer, arrows marking <br />tour route, larger display signs, more displays in large conference room, <br />operators were really patient and good with kids. <br />
