​
Volunteers receive a fancy-schmancy Festival T-shirt and some warm, fuzzy feelings all over!
In a typical year, our volunteers range in age from high-school students to retirees. Volunteers cut ribbons, make hobby horse templates, collect materials for workshops, serve Purity syrup and cookies to hungry mummers, drive and host artists and performers. They teach and instruct at workshops and help make things runs smoothly over all. Volunteers are involved in poster, postcard, and public notice distribution. Oftentimes, volunteers dress as mummers. They also help set up events, produce signage, and provide help with event clean-up and break down. Volunteers act as Parade marshals and carry our Parade banner.
​
We're looking forward to welcoming new volunteers in 2023!
