Abstract

The Muskegon Summer Celebration annually brings music, art, food, and fun to the west side of Michigan. It is the festival committee's goal to assess whether festival attendees are having a pleasant and enriching experience throughout the various festival venues. As such, they annually prepare and administer surveys to patrons of each venue to receive direct feedback. My role, as a statistical consultant, was to aide Becky Wilson, MSC Survey Committee Chair, in analyzing surveys collected over the past four years from the Art in the Park venue. My goal was to investigate any observable trends. Taking these trends into consideration, I was also responsible for making suggestions on which questions are candidates for potential removal in an effort to reduce the length of the survey.
