Be A Part of the Fun -- Volunteer at the Harvest Fair!

The Harvest Fair is just around the corner (October 4 & 5) and we are hoping that you will join us as a Special Events volunteer. Special Events is responsible for all the fun stuff at the Harvest Fair. We want to have as many “hands on” activities as possible, but our major stumbling block has always been supervision. The more helping hands we have, the more activities. (Click here for Volunteer Information)
