Thursday, September 4, 2025 Volunteer Signups

message All cart volunteers will be expected to attend a training session on Wednesday night, September 3rd, and follow all instructions from the Coordinator and Amherst County Sherriff’s Deputies. All golf cart volunteers must have a valid driver’s license. Carts will be stationed in our parking areas to assist in transporting guests from their vehicles to the fairgrounds. Carts are NOT permitted to be on the roads. Please do not use cell phones while operating the cart to ensure everyone stays safe at our fair.

message Our little guests need a place to enjoy the fair, too!! You must ensure that before any child is allowed to play on the bounce houses, their parent has signed the waiver. Bring completed waivers to the volunteer check-in at the end of your shift.

message Our trash pickup crew is essential to keeping our fair looking great!! You will need to familiarize yourself with all of the trash cans posted around the fairgrounds. You will be given a gator to drive around to transport trash bags from the fairgrounds to the on-site dumpsters. We will provide you with gloves to wear! We ask that you please tie the trash bag before loading it onto the back of your gator. Once you have collected all of the full trash bags, you can take them to the dumpsters. You can now relax until the trash cans fill back up! Please do not let them get too full! They will be hard to tie and get on the back of your gator if they are too stuffed. Volunteers without a driver's license will be partnered with someone who does.

message You are the first people that our guests will see when they arrive at our fair. Remember to smile and welcome them all to the Amherst County Fair. You will be collecting money for anyone over 3 years old. Ages 3 and under are FREE. You may also perform other duties like hand stamping as needed at the front gate. A Front Gate Coordinator will be stationed at the front gate if further assistance is required. The only outside food permitted is bottles/snacks for little children. (Please use your best judgment.) Volunteers may also bring in snacks. A couple things to remember…volunteers get in FREE. If someone says they are a volunteer, please direct them to the volunteer check-in. Once volunteers have been checked in, they will be given a voucher for one fair entry to use at a later date. If you are shown a volunteer pass, which counts as their admission, please let them continue into the fair. This is for one entry ONLY!!! There may be someone coming around now and then to collect cash from you so that the front gate does not have too much money at any point. That person will identify themselves. If you have any concerns about who is collecting money, please call the Main Gate Manager.
