Craft Fair Volunteers Needed We still need quite a few volunteers for our biggest fundraiser of the year! It takes a lot of volunteers to accommodate over 100 vendors, food concessions, event day activities, and our customers. We are in particular need of First Aid and Safety volunteers. Your participation is critical in making this event a success. Events like our Craft Fair help raise money for our Bands program and help to keep our band fees as low as possible. We need adult volunteers on both Friday, November 22 and Saturday, November 23. You will receive free admission to the craft fair when you volunteer for one or more shifts. Sign-Up for a Volunteer Spot!
