Abstract:
This handbook will allow you, the reader, to gain knowledge about how to plan an event using the example of the WFMS Free Stage at the Indiana State Fair. It is an in-depth overview of the processes you will have to follow to plan your event, starting with the pre-event planning and continuing through the set-up, the actual event, and ending in a final event wrap-up.WFMS is the number-one-rated station in the Indianapolis market and has many signature events that it sponsors throughout the year, with the Free Stage at the State Fair being just one of those events. The Free Stage provides listeners with national country acts for free concerts during designated days of the Indiana State Fair. WFMS brings in many artists over a twelve-day period; therefore, this event requires a great many people for planning and production to ensure success.
