-Fall fest hours should have already been submitted are are now past due. If you have not done so you will need to get them in this week so that you will not be billed for hours worked.
-When submitting your fall fest hours, please tally all of your FEST hours together and make one FALL FEST submission (NOT BAKING HOURS). If you earned double hours, submit the double hours number. Example: you worked 4-8 (4 hours) and then took an extra game booth shift at 8-10 (these hours double 2 hours/doubled=4 ). Total hours to submit 8.
