We Need Your Help at Wren’s Nest Fest

Posted by: Amelia // Category: Events, Celebrity Requests, Failed Attempts at Looking Reputable // 12:51 pm

Summer is on the horizon here in Atlanta, which can mean only one thing: Wren’s Nest Fest!

Well, that or it’s time to stock up on deodorant. Your call.

Wren’s Nest Fest, our annual community festival, will be held Friday, June 13th (spooky!) from 9am to 4pm. Now, you’ll certainly hear more about this event as it approaches, but in the meantime, we’ve got a favor to ask.

From reading this blog, you may have ascertained that the Wren’s Nest is not exactly rolling around on piles of jewels and gold coins.

Not quite a house, but still good. Uncle Scrooge!

If a house could roll, I mean. And if any house could, it would be this one. But I digress.

The point is, we work on the cheap, and can’t afford to do otherwise. Which means we depend on the kindness of others quite a bit, and we REALLY need that kind of kindness on June 13th.

Hula Hooping!

(This could be you!)

If you are able to volunteer to help out (if that wasn’t clear, that’s what what I’m asking — for you to come here and do unpaid labor), we’ll do our best to cater to your specialties.

You’re an artist? Looks like it’s facepainting for you!

A top-rated chef? You’ll grill the best hot dogs ever!

Matt Grilling

Animal enthusiast? You’ll be great at telling children to pet bunnies gently. I said GENTLY!

Children lookin' at bunnies

Greedy cash-monger? You can work the admission table!

Hate children? You can tell them what to do and pretend they’re your underlings! No touching!

Best of all, as thanks for your help, you will receive a complimentary… t-shirt! HOLY MOLY!

Amelia Trace and what could be yours- t-shirts!

(Oh! The bounty! Though this year’s will be electric blue, just so you know.)

If you think you’ll be able to help out for even a couple of hours, please let us know. The comments section is a great place to start. Thanks!

    I want to help. I’ll bring cupcakes for the children to decorate. You can’t go wrong with icing and sprinkles! :)

    I will come that day too. I would like to be a sit and take money person.
    Also I can bring cupcakes.
