Customer service (ticket sales, scanning, volunteer check-in, children's craft table)
Facilities (floater, set-up, tear-down, cart driver, water and food distribution).
Musicians to help us run our Instrument Petting Zoo.
Behind-the-scenes help, including Sign Coordinator, Volunteer Coordinator Assistant, and Green Room Catering.
