Volunteers
|
The Newmarket Heritage Festival is powered by volunteers! It’s not too late to join the festival weekend team for 2010. This year we are expecting 3,000-5,000 people–and hosting this international block party, an annual celebration of the arts, culture, history and community spirit–is truly a team effort. We need your help! As many as 60 volunteers come together each year to pitch in during festival weekend and we have plenty of opportunities to help out. Get in touch, and we’ll give you a job–plus FREE FESTIVAL ADMISSION! And our everlasting thanks. It’s a great way to support your community–plus it’s a lot of fun. We hope you’ll join us!
Admissions: Admissions volunteers are important ambassadors for the Heritage Festival, helping to make everyone feel welcome at our award-winning international block party. Want to help out for a couple of hours at one of the festival entryways (a great way to meet friends and neighbors)? Click here for a our Tip Sheet for admissions volunteers. Set-up and Break-down: Don’t want to miss out on any of the festival action, but still want to help? Join us for set-up or break-down on Friday, Sunday night or Monday morning. We especially need people with strong backs who can do some lifting! Contact: Peg Chaffee
