Volunteering
Information
Sometimes entertainment may not be to everyone’s liking (you may not like the Christian author reading or the rock band playing), but it for only 30 minutes and we ask that you be courteous during this time. You are more than welcome to leave your booth for the 30 minutes if that is something you would prefer to do because unfortunately, we can’t please everyone with what genre comes in each year. If you are not able to accept what comes in, you may not want to attend. Everything we bring is family-friendly and we want you to enjoy your day. We do however understand if you wish to leave for a while during entertainment that you do not appreciate. If you need to leave, please let someone else in your station know or let us know so that we can arrange for your place to be covered. We can't thank you enough for helping with the event!
Rules
-
Please do not leave your area/job unattended. This is most important for the information booth.
