We need volunteers to help with a variety of tasks: assisting farmers and partners with farm/environmental related family activties and crafts, helping direct cars into parking spots, setting up signs and the site before the event, site breakdown and clean-up afterwards, and other as-needed site and event related tasks.
We also need help with outreach and promotion of the event beforehand, such as: hanging up posters and leaving postcards around local businesses in the Tri-Valley area.
