��Gaf ��r�rr�� � �..�r����r� <br />-r_Tirr� <br />Approximately 7p% of the increased <br />nature center use in 2004 came from <br />attendance at HANC's special events. <br />This increase was a combined result of <br />the highly successful Wild Rice Festival <br />and the improved format of FQRHANC's <br />Holiday Craft Fair. Since both of these <br />events provided income for the nature <br />center, this increased attention is highly <br />noteworthy. <br />�BV"aak-ir� Visitor Summarv <br />The number of walk-in visitors coming <br />into HANC's interpretive building in 2004 <br />increased by 3�.%. This amounted to <br />more than 1000 additional visits by <br />guests enjoying our stimulating <br />atmosphere and interactive exhibits. <br />Although these casual visits to the <br />nature center are not revenue- <br />producing, they provide opportunities <br />for people to become familiar with <br />program offerings and special events, <br />the primary revenue sources for the <br />nature center. <br />F�cili�V U�aqe Report <br />The interpretive building at Harriet <br />Alexander Nature Center was open 1735 <br />hours in 2004. Of these, 910 hours <br />were used for scheduled programs and <br />events, while the remaining hours were <br />available for walk-in visitors. Many of <br />HANC's walk-in clientele are families <br />with young children who come to enjoy <br />independent play with our many <br />interactive exhibits. I n addition, <br />community members walking on the <br />trails often come in to browse exhibits <br />or library books, or to ask a naturalist <br />about something they saw on the trail. <br />HANC has many uses for many different <br />types of people. Versatility is one of its <br />greatest virtues. <br />i � ��i�f Event # Attendees i <br />� Q en House <br />' Earth Da Celebration — � <br />Wild Rice Festival <br />� Halloween S ook-tacular <br />H�lir�y �'r�k Fais � 4�C} <br />: T��71 : i�x�5 : <br />Season # Visitors <br />� Win#er � ��]+a <br />ti,�,;,�� :��;a <br />� �uxamEr � 1914 � <br />. __ll .
