    Fall Fest 2017 is 2 weeks away!

    As with every fest, we rely on help from GIRS members during the fest and to help during setup and tear down. This fest is going to be simplier, much like last year's fall fest, and so the number of volunteers we need is less, but still very important.

    Saturday Evening Set up: (2-3 people)

    For the Saturday evening setup, need just a few people (2 or 3) that can pop up tables, lay down power cords & tape them down, the usual thing. Again, not a long time commitment and not complicated.

    Sunday event:

    We need 2 people per hour from 10-2 manning the a) community table and b) floater.

    These are very important roles, so if you volunteer for a time slot, please make sure you are able to be there!

    The time slots are listed below. Please post in this thread and let us know what slot you can fill and we will keep the list updated. Thank you in advance!!

    I will be checking people in and selling tickets (and tracking ticket holders as attendance isn't required to win) so the only volunteer positions that are really needed are manning the community tables.

    The community table duties will be pretty simple, as everyone who is bringing things to place out for sale on these tables will need to fill out a tag with their info and price - so it's just collecting $ for what sells & keeping the tags so that money can be given to the seller later

    The "floater" is someone to help out anywhere else when needed - vendor tables for breaks, go-fer, etc.

    Each shift's volunteers will just cover these 2 positions as needed.

    The most important thing is that if you volunteer for a time slot, please make sure you show up! And if for any reason you can't make it, let us know and try to get it covered if possible.

    Thanks everyone in advance!

    I'll do the community table from 11-12 and then again from 1-2 if it's possible to do 2 shifts

    Thanks @ruggerkc@ruggerkc - I'll add you for the whole time, but hopefully a few more people will volunteer - so that it won't be necessary for you to work the whole time!

    I will be there the day before to make sure we can get in when we were told. Also all day of. So if there are ant spots left before the show o can fill in.

    Venue access times are all verified, we'll be able to get in at 5pm or earlier, and since it's staffed 24/7 we can get in uber-early on Sunday (at least one vendor will be there before 7am).

    Also I'm staying at the hotel Saturday night & will be there at or before 5pm Saturday

    Fest is tomorrow!

    Thanks to those that have volunteered to help. A couple more would be great - especially one during the 12-1 slot.
