6/24 Thursday Greeters for the Wright County Fair
Shifts: 10am-1pm, 1pm-4pm, 4-7pm
Greet and guide visitors in the Welker Schoolhouse during the Wright County Fair, or welcome them in our lovely cabin.
This is a great opportunity for outgoing history lovers! And with 2 volunteers per shift, it’s also a wonderful way to either meet new people or sign up as a group to spend time with a family and friends - all while giving back to a local nonprofit organization.
Volunteers at the Fairground will:
- Engage with visitors as they explore the Schoolhouse & Cabin
- Help with museum gift shop
- No prior experience needed-come and enjoy a short step back in history, then explore the fair when you’re done!
Volunteers gain free entry into the fair on the day of their shifts, however there is no free parking.

It consists of nearly 8000 sq ft of gallery space, a genealogical research library, and historic buildings both on our grounds and the county fairgrounds.
