This is a a pretty simple volunteer job, just check in the vendors show them to their spaces, make sure they know where to find what they need (trash, parking, porta johns) and make sure the vendors tape down any electrical cords they might have.

We need Volunteers to help with the following:

  • Check In Vendors
  • Man Barricade to only let Vendors in and out

Event Setup

Are you more of a doer?
Or maybe you have a crew that has some muscle and a little bit of time to offer?
Or MAYBE you really need those community service hours to graduate next year!!
Well we might just have the job for you!  See below where we have a few odds and ends jobs that just needs a crew willing to work!!

Check back here often as our set up and take down needs change and we are always updating these tasks!
