Eleventh Hour Plea for Volunteers!
…well, maybe 10:30…

The Tucson Celtic Festival is fast approaching the first weekend of November.  This 2½ day Festival takes a whole year to plan and organize and two critical days to all come together.

This year, the Festival Field Manager, the person responsible for the execution of these most excellent plans, has had to bow out at this late date due to health and family issues. It happens.

Putting the Festival together is an enormous job and we are in desperate need of a small army of responsible, respectful, flexible, fun-loving, get-it-done kind of Volunteers on Thursday, Oct 30 from about 8:30am-5:00pm and Friday, Oct 31 from about 7:30am-5:00pm for set-up tasks like the following:

• Setting up tables & chairs
• Decorating Information & Entertainment tents & Kids area tents
• Setting up temporary perimeter fencing for sheepherding area
• Putting together two dance stages
• Helping with speakers & sound setup at several locations
• Putting up various signs
• Helping set up small pop-up tents (tent vendor does all the big tents)
• Helping clansmen to their tent locations & assisting their set-up
• A variety of other tasks & errands, etc.

The work will be physical in nature ranging from light to moderately demanding.

A Volunteer meeting will be planned around the middle of October for creating a schedule of times & tasks on Thurs & Fri. Time & Place will be announced soon.

Bring some friends, meet some new ones. We’ll have a great time doing a great job! Volunteers are asked to contribute at least 4 hours but you might be having a great time and want to stay longer! Festival Admission passes will be offered in appreciation. Lunch and water will be provided each set-up day for those donating at least 4 hrs.
