We are looking for volunteers for the 2011 Michigan Fiber Festival which will be held August 17-21, 2011. Please contact the Michigan Fiber Festival Office if you are interested in being a volunteer for our great event.
Camping check-in:
Volunteers are needed Tuesday - Friday .
Campers who have pre-registered will have completed paperwork that you will just need to hand them. If someone has not pre-registered, you will need to collect their camping fee(s) and stamp their camping pass for number of days camping. Camping check-in is open from 9am to 8pm on these days so we have many volunteers opportunities in this area.

This involves getting the coffee and hot water started. Volunteer(s) would need to be available each morning at 7:30am.

The People Choice Awards is a new event that will be held in Building 8 on Saturday and Sunday. Building 8 will also be used this year as a hospitality area. We will need volunteers to make sure there is coffee, water and to keep an eye on the Art Show and the People Choice Award entries.
