Pros and Cons report for next year:
Area good – but maybe Saywell could be even better
Simple snack food worked out well
Exhibits were good and well attended, lowest participation in rowing station
Maybe create a gate around next event, so it is more like entering an area.
A different day of the week could possibly increase student attendance
