Volunteer!

Fiber Fusion needs the willing hands of many volunteers to help it run smoothly!

Here is your chance to share in this exciting event. 
​We have a remarkable team that is doing the groundwork, but we still have many areas that need your help!

We welcome your help in whatever capacity you are able - either chairing a committee, assisting committee chairs during the months leading up to the show, or assisting during the actual show.

Here are some examples of ways our volunteers have participated:

(​Position requirements vary widely in time spent sitting, standing, walking, lifting, etc.)

Prior to the Show

• Do you travel a lot?  We would appreciate your help in distributing bookmarks and flyers to area businesses.
• Setup Assistance: including hanging signs, moving tables and chairs, setting up the Welcome Desk, setting up the different areas of the event, etc.
• ​Sale-only Fleece Check-in: assist coordinators and sellers
• Show Fleece Check-in: This hands on experience would enable you to get to know what all is involved in entering a fleece into a show.
• Fiber Arts Show: assist during check-in

During the Show

• Welcome Desk: If you enjoy interacting with the public, you could elect to take a shift in manning the information table at the entrance door, answering general questions and directing people to specific areas of the show.
• Vendor Relief: provide breaks to vendors
  
• Demonstrations: helping demonstrators with logistics.
• Classroom Coordinator assistance: assist as needed with directions and class sign-ins
• Fiber Arts Show: assist during check-in, assist during judging, monitor the Fiber Arts area and greet attendees while the fiber arts are on display (bring a project to work on during slow times - mostly sitting position)

• Sale-only Fleece area: monitor the area and greet attendees
