We Still Need Volunteers For Wren’s Nest Fest. Ahem.

Posted by: Amelia // Category: Events, Very Serious Posts With No Funny Business // 1:27 pm

Today, in the course of two phone calls, we found out that approximately 100 more children will be attending Wren’s Nest Fest next Friday, bringing our RSVP total to about 350.

This is good.

It is also terrifying.

Luckily, we’ve got everything in place - including an accidental double order of port-a-potties - for the Fest. Moonbounce, clown, ponies, bunnies, arts and crafts– check and check and check.

Everything but volunteers, that is.

(9am. Gack!)

So please, volunteer to help at Wren’s Nest Fest, even if it’s just for the t-shirt and all the snow-cones you can eat. All day (9-4), part of the day, whatever you’ve got. We need your help, and, I mean, sure we often write about begging, but how often do we actually beg?

That’s right.

This is big time.

    I’ll be there! With 500 cookies, icing and sprinkles! This was so much fun last year - the kids loved it! Thanks for making it happen again . . .

    I’m willing to come in for the afternoon, but only if a cold beer is awaiting me at say, 4:01! Cause at my age, snow cones just ain’t enough. Oh, and I’ll also need one of them cushy, sitting down jobs, since being on my feet is not my forte. :)

    Amy - If I could, I would but there is this little thing called work getting in my way….but I do have an idea - maybe there is a youth group in West End that is interested in doing a service project together and volunteering? Might be worth a call to some churches?

    Deb, I think the role of admission-person has your name on it. We do need two, after all. In the meantime, we’ll do our best to find room in the fridge for a six-pack amidst one million hot dogs.

    Jodi, great idea. I fear the ship may have sailed time-wise, but I’ll certainly ask around to those in the know.
