Volunteers needed for Waite Park Fall Festival - Saturday, Sept. 10

The Waite Park Community Council would love your help in making our fall festival successful this year!

The annual Waite Park Fall Festival will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10th, from 3-7pm at Waite Park (1810 34th Ave. NE). The event will include food, entertainment, and a variety of vendors from artists to vintage goods.

We are an all-volunteer organization, and the success of this event depends on people donating their time to make it happen. We are still seeking at least 10 more volunteers to take on a 1-2 hour shift each. Roles include helping with set up and tear down, cooking and serving food, and overseeing kids activities.

Please sign up to volunteer using this link by September 2nd. All are welcome to help — you do not need to live in Waite Park to volunteer. For questions, email festival@waiteparkcc.org.

We would also like to thank our generous sponsors: the Eastside Food Co-op, Larson Dental, Norseman Construction, Stinson Beer, Wine & Spirits, and Turbo Tim's Anything Automotive.
