Parade Barricade Crew (Need 4):  Move pre-staged plastic barricades into place before the parade and push out of the way after the parade passes. 
 
Parade Bucket Brigade (Need 6): Collect donations along the parade route. Looking for FUN people dressed up for this.  We provide the buckets.  

FOR PADDYFEST

Admissions (Need 14)

Food Sales (Need 14)

Decoration Crew – We will gather Friday March 15th at 6:00PM

As you can see when we are selling the food hence our need for volunteers.  This keeps our costs down.  Hey! it’s still a $10 ticket.  We want to keep it that way. Donate one hour of your time.

 

Sláinte!  Health, blessings and luck to the Irish on our day!!
