One attendee has won $10,000 for taking the survey.<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Edmonton, AB<\/strong>: It\u2019s been a few weeks since one of Edmonton\u2019s most beloved annual events came to a close, but the excitement of K-Days isn\u2019t over quite yet. During the 2019 festival, which ran from July 19 \u2013 28, K-Days invited attendees to fill out a survey asking about the festival, their highlights, and what they\u2019d like to see in future festivals.<\/p>\n<p>During the festival, thousands of attendees filled out the survey which gave them an opportunity to win $10,000. This week, one of those attendees will be awarded a giant cheque for $10,000 by Northlands CEO Peter Male.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Please join us for the cheque presentation this Thursday, September 19.<\/strong><br \/> <strong> Noon at the Northlands Urban Farm (11312 79 Street NW)<\/strong><br \/> <strong> Please arrive for 11:45 a.m. to allow for time to set-up prior to the awarding of the cheque.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 20-year-old Edmonton woman who won the $10,000 is very excited. She\u2019s planning to use the money to take her family on a trip. She\u2019s a fan of the midway (her favourite ride is the Zipper) and will be starting training with Chrysalis Centre for Adults with Disabilities in the fall. Come witness the cheque hand-off this Thursday!<\/p>\n<p>There is much to go through in a survey of this size, but here are some quick highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The top 3 reasons guests came to K-Days were for the midway, the food, and the concert series.<\/li>\n<li>The top 3 attractions guests enjoyed while at 2019 K-Days were the concert series and performances, shopping, and the Superdogs show Pandora\u2019s Boxes.<\/li>\n<li>Better wayfinding, shorter line-ups, and more water stations were some of the most common areas of opportunity for the 2020 edition of K-Days.<\/li>\n<li>When planning for the future, feedback included even more speciality fair food, entertainment suggestions, and more art and technology included.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Over 700,000 guests attended K-Days 2019, which featured the newly introduced Mini Makers Faire, increased cultural programs, a traveling Toy exhibit and expanded agricultural programs, including cow cuddling and several small livestock shows. Planning is now underway for the 2020 event, one that is anticipated to bring a new look and programming changes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edmonton\u2019s favourite summer fair, K-Days, asked attendees to fill out a survey to help us continue to evolve the festival.
