Beer & Wine Garden: We’re seeking adult volunteers to sell beverage tickets and oversee the Beer & Wine Garden.
Caboose Minder: We’re looking for a volunteer to sit in the caboose and welcome visitors who wish to explore it. An interest in the history of trains in our area is a plus, but not required.
Children’s Fair: We are looking for teenagers and adults who enjoy working with younger children, setting up games, applying temporary tattoos, and helping at craft tables.
E.E. Lake Store: We’re looking for friendly volunteers to help run the cash registers and sell t-shirts and baked goods at the E.E. Lake Store.

Kubota Driver: We’re seeking several responsible adults who are familiar with the village to drive a provided utility vehicle during the Fair. Duties include transporting patrons—usually between the parking area and the Fair—and running occasional errands as needed.

Snickersville Academy: We’re looking for volunteers to welcome visitors to this quiet, shady spot, hand out giveaways, and encourage children to create crafts with the materials provided.
