Sending scores? Don't overlook this important metric

Attendance is an important metric. It helps the community, instills confidence in your area of interest. (See: Football 04 Oct 2014: LWC 31. Cumberlands 28 for a big attendance figure this past week)

Thanks to Chris Wells, Lindsey Wilson Sports Information Director, for sending the attendance figure for the Lindsey Wilson Football Game on Saturday 4 Oct 2014: It was big, 1,782, bigger than the whole city of Columbia was just seven decades ago.

We're not sure whether that was the most attended event in Adair County yesterday, or even this past week, but it certainly was near the top.

Attendance figures are vital for a number of reasons: They let the community know if there is anything there, there. They are indicators to business leaders and tourism about which activities are a net win for the community, and it lets us know, at CM, how to prioritize among all the submissions to see which one gets the most attention and which ones are worth posting.

One note: Even if attendance figures are very, the community wants to see a winning winning vector. In the history of CM, we've noticed some surprises: That many times the biggest attendance is in areas too often taken for granted, such as cultural and academic events, so those attendance numbers are important, too.

We think it's important for family reunions, farmers markets, event revivals. - CM
