Northern Michigan Lamb & Wool Festival

Northern Michigan Lamb & Wool Festival

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers create a festival from the ground up, and keep it running year after year. The hours are countless, but the rewards priceless! This festival is a particular joy to contribute to, as it’s truly the friendliest fiber festival around. Join our little family – and help us make it the best in the midwest!

Jobs we need volunteers before and during the festival include:

• Set-up and clean-up: Friday morning and Sunday afternoon
• Vendor helpers: Friday through Sunday
• Office staff: Friday through Sunday
• Hospitality area: Saturday and Sunday
• Roving photographer: Friday through Sunday
• Guild reps: All the rest of the year
• Committees: All the rest of the year, plus during the festival!

Some things must be done before the festival opens, starting Thursday afternoon, and we’re often working late Sunday before the place is spic and span and ready to close for the winter. Vendors and teachers love to have help carrying their stock in and out, and we’d like to provide runners during the festival to provide short bathroom breaks, fetch drinks or lunch, etc, for them, too.

Each volunteer gets a little back for the generous gift of time, talent, and energy:

• One meal ticket good at our food vendors for $6, for each day on which four or more hours are worked at the festival
• Four door prize tickets for each day worked at the festival (must be present at the festival to claim a prize if you have a winning ticket)
• The satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting the friendliest little fiber festival around!

If any of this appeals to you, please contact a committee member if you have a specific area you’d like to help in.
