Giving back to FIBArk

Recently here in the Citizen’s office, I heard Bill refer to FIBArk as Salida’s homecoming, I couldn’t agree more.  Just like your high school homecoming, it’s only possible because of the tremendous effort of volunteers. FIBArk Secretary extraordinaire Kate Yost, sent us the following call for volunteers, which we are happy to post. Is it your turn? -ss

It’s hard to believe FIBArk is a little over a month away! The FIBArk Board has been hard at work planning this year’s festival, and it’s gonna be the best yet! A great way to give back to this fabulous, FREE festival is to volunteer. We can use people of all shapes and sizes, for jobs big and small. If you have volunteered in the past, or are contemplating helping out this year, we would love to hear from you! Jobs include everything from set-up to take-down, event registration, information booth, pouring beer, educating people at recycling and compost stations, or whatever floats your boat! Grab a friend or two and do it together! Shifts range from two hours to however long you’d like to help us out. For those that want to help staff the New Belgium Brewery beer tent, contact Shannon at 719-221-1988, or email shannon@summitmobility.com. For all other aspects of volunteering, please call Kate at 719-207-2323 or email kateyost@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you! Festival dates are June 17–20, 2010.
