🗓 Tomorrow morning at 10am in the Blackforest Building we will be having our Metcalfe Fair Volunteer Orientation.

We are still looking for volunteers for Fair weekend and welcome anyone who is interested in signing up for a shift to attend the orientation. These shifts are a great way to give back to the community and for high school students to accumulate their volunteers hours.

We have 4 wristband shifts on Friday and numerous shifts on Saturday (primarily between 5pm - 9pm) for gates.

Each shift will also enter you into a draw for two tickets to see the Redblacks on October 16th! 🏈

Please contact [email protected] to find out how to help!

Thank you to all our volunteers!!
