  • Prior to, or during your volunteer shift the  consumption of alcohol or other substances is prohibited. If you plan on attending the fest after your shift you must purchase a ticket before it sells out.
  • We encourage you to wear your own organizations shirts or hats when working so fest attendees know what group you are with.  We do not give volunteers free shirts, as we make donations to your organization, but if you want to purchase an event volunteer shirt you can buy one on-line by the deadline for each fest.
