Measuring how much fun everyone <br />is having is a challenging task to quantify. The number of people who attend indicates whether the event is popular, but it <br />is harder to measure "a good time" with numbers. A program locating where the musicians and food vendors are can be <br />handed out, which actually helps provide an idea of how many people have attended. One evening a few years ago, an <br />organizer spent the night acting as a valet parking attendant in the H6lualoa Elementary School parking lot for the Music <br />and Light Festival. The joy on people'rs faces as they returned to their cars was evidence enough that the evening had <br />achieved the desired outcome of community building and having a good time together. Attendees shared stories of seeing <br />friends they hadn't seen in years., and this event is cherished for that reason. Many offered thanks and said, "See you next <br />year." <br />
