Volunteers Needed:

In order for the festival to be successful, we are in need of several volunteers to help. Right now, our biggest need is to find chairs to cover the Grand Raffle and Over 21 Envelope Pull Booths. We also need someone to cover the Money Wheel Booth. Any help is greatly appreciated!
