We need over 400 volunteers to be able to have the festival each year.
One area that is particularly important is set-up and tear down. Without that help, the festival can't open, so please consider a shift!!
The areas are setup, tear down, manning food booths, game booths, clean up and a so many other areas. We are asking each family to volunteer for one of the areas during the festival. Thank you very much in advance for your help!
Faith Formation Families: Reminder that each family in the Faith Formation program needs to volunteer as a family for one spot. Consider the Kiddy Korner area with Bounce House and face paining - Very family friendly.
