Festival Volunteer

Job Descriptions

 

Vendor Assistance Team

Volunteers are needed to assist vendors during the show. Volunteers will walk the streets of the show to ensure vendor questions and concerns are addressed. Volunteers may be asked to “booth sit” for breaks and vendors very much appreciate being cared for by our volunteers in this way. 

​

Shuttle Stop Team

Volunteers will ensure that each patron over the age of 12 that rides the shuttle pays the $8.00 round-trip shuttle fare upon drop off at the festival and receives a stamp allowing them into the show and indicating what stop to which they should return in order to board the shuttle back to the lot. Experience with handling money is preferred.

​

Alley Team

We'll have a tented area exclusively for arts and crafts for kids and schedule of activities throughout the weekend. Volunteers in the Alley will help kids at the craft table as well as help with set up and clean up.
