Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Fall Foliage Festival. Whether it be directing cars to spots and collecting the parking fee, to selling raffle tickets, helping to set up or clean up, working with the Woodsmen competition or staffing the Info Booth, the Festival cannot run without the dedication of volunteers.
We ask for a minimum of a two-hour commitment. Each volunteer is rewarded with a tee shirt as a thank you. Students are eligible for community service hours.
The link for areas needed, hours and a brief description of each task can be found at this link: https://signup.com/go/pUgMGVD. If you have any questions about volunteering, please contact Beth Lukaitis, Volunteer Coordinator, at volunteerwfff@aol.com. The Board of Directors thank you in advance!
