About the event

Come shop, play, tour and make memories during this 77 year-old tradition -- the Waterford Foundation's "Waterford Fair"!

About the application

We have many opportunities for you or your group to volunteer before, during and after the Fair. Please let us know what areas you are interested in by completing this application and we will contact you. Note that when you click on "department types" it says "preference 1, 2, etc". If you are interested in volunteering in many areas but are unsure where, do not worry about the preference ranking. Shift selection is just for us to get a general idea of your availability. You are not locked into any positions or shifts by completing this application. This year in particular we are looking for 2 people to help us enter Mill artisan products into our online store (September, from home) and for Artisan Helpers, 9/30-10/3: set up, runners, booth sitters, break down. Other opportunities include: • Artisan Homestay Host • Craft School Tent • Fair Admin (from home or the WF office) • Fair Set Up & Break Down • Fine Art & Art Mart • Home/Garden/Building Docent • Old Mill: Data Entry • Old Mill: Retail Sales & Check Out • Ticket Taker • Wine & Beer Area • Sign Set Up for Home Tour • Village Prep • Moving Fine Art and Mill • Boxed Lunch Coordinator Thank you for considering to help. It truly does take a village to have the Fair run smoothly year after year!

Be polite, helpful and if you are unable to assist someone find someone who can (e.g., your supervisor, information booth, sheriff's deputy, EMs, staff, etc.). Waterford is a historic village and many of the properties are not accessible by wheel chair. If you have any special needs we should be made aware of regarding the projects you are volunteering for, please add a note in the application. Dress: business casual dress/casual dress is fine.
