VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR FESTIVAL OF FLEECES

Volunteers Needed!!
We are looking for volunteers to help for 1 hour during the festival of the fleeces!
 
To help out the festival committee, every year the show society help set up and pack away the barrier for the parade down the main street. It only takes about an hour (30 min to set up and 30 min to pack up)
 
We need minimum of 6 volunteers to make things run smoothly.
 
A large portion of the show executive committee are also on the Festival committee and will be unable to help, so we are really looking for a few extra hands.
 
If you are going to be at the Festival of the Fleeces, we would really appreciate some help.
 
We will meet behind the VRA at the shipping container at 11:00am on Saturday.
 
If you are available, please contact Tyler Austin on 0427823393
