Best was equipment operation, worst was display of small equipment. Need <br />relocation of some of the equipment so that it is in the flow pattern. <br />No more time. Need more news media coverage prior to the event, also invite <br />the newspaper people during the event. Gene should get a raise., he worked <br />hard on this plus he had 3 tours of kids. <br />Best was the opportunities to operate the various pieces of equipment. <br />Launch a more aggressive advertising plan, press release followed by a <br />second and last press release. Have flyers go up in public buildings all <br />over Eugene. <br />Best was the public expressing real interest in what we do. Worst was not <br />enough visitors. <br />Worst was more adults and not as many kids running equipment. Once every 2 <br />years. Would like to see more private citizens involved. <br />Best was all of it. Have hot dogs for all. <br />A note from the transcriber: I felt there was lots of publicity. I saw <br />hundreds of flyers prepared to be displayed all over the city, read news- <br />paper ads and saw blurbs on tv, so feel Sandra did a good job. It was <br />either lack of interest or the timing is not right. Many of City folks are <br />interested but demand of the job prevented. I went last year but missed <br />seeing some things and would like to have gone back. A "carrot" might help, <br />or having extended (different) hours. <br />Best was Public Works employees were very courteous and helpful; helped <br />public (taxpayers) become more aware of what Public Works Dept really does <br />for the City. <br />Worst was it is important to get more public awareness and participation. <br />Would like to have the event again next year. <br />Best part was the backhoe and aerial lift. Worst was it ended to early and <br />the direction of the tour was confusing. It should be scheduled later to <br />have working people attend too. Would like to have the event again next <br />year. Get a real celebrity, even a U of 0 athlete or someone well known. <br />The best was the "boom" aerial lift and driving the sweepers. I thought <br />everything went well. Change nothing, Good Job!! Have the event again <br />next year. My roommate brought a few kids from the community to the event <br />and they had a ball. I thought it was an originial idea to invite the public. <br />The best part was having the families come. The worst part was the day <br />seemed like it went on forever. <br />Best part was the games. Worst part was the potatoe salad ( ? ?) Everything <br />was great. Have event again next year. <br />Best part was the popcorn, drinks and meeting new people. Worst part was it <br />was too long. Have event next year and have free hotdogs. <br />Best part was the pop and popcorn. I think we need hot dogs next year. The <br />worst part was standing all day waiting for the people to come. Need more <br />relief for the people who just stand and show the equipment. Have the event <br />next year. <br />Change nothing. Have event next year. <br />
