Festival Volunteers Needed!

Our annual Harvest Festival is a non-profit event and as such we manage on the limited funds received from only the vendor fees, opportunity drawing proceeds, donations and sponsors supporting this event, of which we are able to pay all expenses. Any proceeds, funds over our expenses, for this year’s event will be donated to one or more non-profit organizations as well as reseeding next year’s event.

This event is organized and managed by the main coordinators, assistant coordinators and several volunteers, who each freely volunteer their time for this open community event. But! It takes more than just a group of coordinators to put on the event; it takes many more volunteers to donate their time and efforts as well as others who volunteer supplies. So you can see we need lots of help and we are always looking out for people who are interested in helping to keep this annual community event going each year.

"Being a volunteer is an experience gained that you can draw o for the rest of your life."

If you see anything on the list above, that you are interested in helping with, or need more details on? Can you volunteer at least two consecutive hours of time to work in an area? If you’re willing, great!

Criteria for Volunteers: Be willing to work a minimum two hour shift. Check in at least 10 minutes prior to you assigned shift. Wear your name badge during hours you are scheduled to work. Turn in your name badge at end of your assigned shift, failure to do so will result in your privilege as a future festival volunteer to be denied. Hopefully you will want to volunteer more in the future.

Volunteers under the age of 18 must have a signed release from their legal parent/guardian, whom should also be present with them at festival. All volunteers are required to complete a volunteer form along with the disclaimer form at check-in.

It takes many to make this event a success. Plus it’s always good to know you helped make it a success.
