Column: CarmelFest needs you to volunteer

0

Contrary to anything you might have heard, volunteering at CarmelFest is fun. It isn’t all just about picking up trash. As a matter of fact, 9 out 10 festival experts recently noted CarmelFest attendees more likely to use a trash receptacle. This fact alone could make our Trash Troopers obsolete.

But, we are in search of 400 volunteers willing to provide a myriad of jobs. Each year, the Carmel Lions Club provide the manpower to line up the Centier Bank CarmelFest Parade entries for step off at 10:30 a.m. July 4. But once the Centier Parade is underway, we need Parade Marshals to help keep it moving along smoothly. Maybe a 3-hour shift in this capacity will give you the sense of satisfaction you seek.

During the two-day festival you could help with set-up, tear down, traffic and parking lot control, operating kids rides, hawking Spark Buttons, staffing information booths, selling ride tickets, providing directions and maybe a little, light refuse collection.

No matter what your talent or your time availability, we promise a rewarding volunteer experience, introduction to people you have never met and the overwhelming gratitude of a grateful community.

This year, don’t spend another year sitting on the curb during the parade wishing it were not passing you by.
