Keystone Heights Chautauqua draws 53 on Saturday, 97 on Sunday; organizers plan audio and scheduling fixes
Summary
Organizers reported 53 attendees on Saturday and 97 on Sunday at the May Chautauqua. The Heritage Commission flagged microphone failures and weather exposure and approved research into a 12-foot banner and other improvements for next year.
The Heritage Commission reviewed outcomes from the recent Chautauqua, reporting 53 attendees on Saturday and 97 on Sunday despite poor weather. Commissioners and organizers said bands and speakers received positive feedback but that audio problems and weather exposure hampered some outdoor activities.
Commission notes listed technical fixes and program changes for next year: improved microphones and clip-on options for recordings, a more-weatherproof covered stage, clearer labeling for the pop-up museum displays, and the possibility of changing Sunday hours to 11 a.m.–4 p.m. Chairwoman Deirdre Murphy said she will look into pricing for a 12-foot Chautauqua banner to improve visibility and branding.
