We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that relies on the time and skills of volunteer workers and performers to produce a great Faire for the benefit of our selected Charity.

Volunteers


We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers for Staff positions or 2-hour shifts in:
On-Site Operations, Games, Promotions, Security, Facilitations - Entertainer/Merchant/Re-enactor, and Street Characters.   If you'd like to help make this a better Faire, please consider volunteering.
Volunteers must be AT LEAST 18 years old or be 16 with written approval of a legal guardian.

But What Should I WEAR?   Whats Renn?

We are also seeking help with our material needs list.
If you have any of the items gathering dust, we'll get the most out of them!
