Summerfest is coming!

I have been helping the Bountiful Davis Art Center gathering and organizing their volunteers for the Summerfest International coming up next week. We are still running short on volunteers in a few really wonderful opportunities to serve. The shifts are only a few hours and your family can enjoy the festivities at the park at the same time! The Summerfest dates are Thurs, Aug 7th-Sat, Aug 9th. See link for more info on the event: www.bdac.org . Current needs are listed below:

Hospitality: We need adults who will be helping to serve refreshment and encouragement to the performers. This is a great opportunity to meet people from another country and watch the performances at the same time!

Shifts still open are:
  • Friday (Aug 8th): 1-4pm, 4-7pm, and 7-9:30pm
  • Saturday (Aug 9th): 10-1pm, 1-4pm, 4-7pm, and 7-9:30pm

Children's Art Yard: We need Adults/mature Teens who love interacting with Children. This service includes helping Artists assist children with various art project from around the world. If a parent would like to do this with 1 or 2 of their children that would be perfectly acceptable.

Shifts still open are:

  • Friday (Aug 8th): 10-1pm, 1-4pm, 4-7pm, 7-9:30pm
  • Saturday (Aug 9th): 10-1pm, 4-7pm

Grounds Crew: We need responsible kids with parents/Adults who would be willing to be the "eyes and hands" of the park keeping it clean and safe. Volunteers will be running items from one booth to another, looking around for garbage on the ground/things out of place. If a parent would like to do this with 1 or 2 of their children that would be perfectly acceptable.

Shifts still open are:

  • Friday (Aug 8th): 10-1pm, 1-4pm, 4-7pm, 7-9:30pm
  • Saturday (Aug 9th): 10-1pm, 4-7pm, 7-9:30pm

If you or anyone you know would be interested in helping the Bountiful Davis Art Center out with this fun and exciting community event, please feel free to e-mail me at: smilyrunner@gmail.com with your contact information, who will be coming, and what shift you would like and we will let you know where to be and what do to. Thank you so much for any assistance that you can be. I understand that the summer is very busy. This would be, in my eyes, a wonderful way to serve, have a date night, help in a community, and get out and do something fun!
