As you know, our festival has been going under some changes the last few years, and we are still getting better and better every year! This festival is 100 percent community driven and has a LOT of volunteer hours put in, so that we can have a great experience celebrating the heritage of our area.
However, as time goes on, we are in desperate need of help from more of the community. Right now, there are about 12 of us making the entire festival what you see, hear and taste and most of the members are doing multiple things at once. We need your help Seneca County! We are looking for help with multiple areas which can be done by one person, or a group of friends or coworkers! We have included a small guideline of what would need to be done, but the most important thing to remember is that YOU WILL NOT BE ALONE. You will have the guidance and assistance of the Festival committee and board members. If you have any questions, or would like to step up, please send us a message on Facebook, or email us at
volunteer@tiffinfestival.com
.
Public Relations

Downtown Entertainment Lot 7 / Heritage Block:
This position will be responsible for setting up the Lot 7 Entertainment Stage, including setting up tables and chairs, fencing and lot clean up and maintenance. This position will work with the staff who has set up and run the lot for the last 5 years.
Food vendors:
This position can be really fun! This position will visit other area Festivals and eat food! This position would be responsible for setting up the food vendors, staging them, and making sure every vendor is set up by the opening of the Festival. This position will work with staff who have worked with food vendors and know the power limits.
Parade:
This position will be responsible for putting on one of the biggest events of the Festival. This position will plan, coordinate, and line up the parade participants. This would be great for a group of people to coordinate, especially on parade day. Information from the previous parade coordinator will be handed down, and assistance would be provided by the Festival staff.

The biggest part of the Festival is setting up and tearing down. This group of people would be responsible for helping set up the Living History Village, Downtown Area, and making sure the Festival is running smoothly by removing trash and cleaning up during the event.

Junior Achievement Needs Volunteers!
Do you have a student or grandchild in the TCS grades K - 5 ? Please consider volunteering, this would be a nice way to connect.
Junior Achievement programs help prepare young people for the real world by showing them how to generate wealth and effectively manage it, how to create jobs which make their communities more robust, and how to apply entrepreneurial thinking to the workplace. Students put these lessons into action and learn the value of contributing to their communities. Local volunteers from the community give their time to present the prepared lessons in our schools.
There is a training session to help prepare the volunteers. All the material and supplies are put together into a grade specific kit. JA in a day is scheduled for April 6 at Washington School, May 8 at Noble School and May 17 for Krout School. The time in the classroom is from 8:15 to 11:50 am. and the teachers are in the classroom throughout the program. Volunteers are still needed for several classes. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Tricia Reinhard at 419-436-4813.
