The 39th
Annual Appalachian Festival will be held Friday,
May 9th - Sunday, May 11th, at Coney Island – and
we need your help! Volunteers at least 18-years-old*
are needed to help with all aspects of the Festival
including setting up, gate admissions, children's programming/crafts,
assisting in traditional arts/crafts & living history
demonstration areas, set-up and staging, food prep
in our volunteer hospitality tent, running errands,
assisting with exhibitors’ exiting process and "tearing
down" on Sunday evening.
* Volunteers from 13-17
years old are welcome to volunteer, however, their
parent/legal guardian must directly supervise them.
On Friday, May 11th, approximately
4,000 - 4th Grade school students attend the Festival
to learn about Appalachian Culture. We want to ensure
that the day is full of fun, learning and safety.
We have a special need for
volunteers, who’re comfortable with
children, to assist with kids crafts and children’s
games on Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Bring
your friends or co-workers to help out too!

Whenever
possible, you’ll
be scheduled for your requested time(s). However, I
may ask you to
volunteer at a slightly different time, depending on
our scheduling needs. For example, Saturday and Sunday
afternoons and Sunday mornings are very busy times
requiring more volunteers.
Once you
register, you’ll receive a letter confirming
your scheduled day(s) and time(s). On the first day
you’re scheduled to volunteer, bring that letter
with you, so you can be admitted to the parking area
for free. Once inside the park, report to the Volunteer
Check-In, which is at The Lost River Pavilion #1, which
is closest to the Ohio River, from the West Gate. There,
you'll get a name badge and an assignment. As
always, Festival Volunteers park for FREE and are admitted
to the Festival FREE all weekend – just show ‘em
your name badge at the parking & admission gates!
If you later find you need to change your time or
cancel, please let me know as soon as possible. Since
the Appalachian Festival is an all-volunteer event,
we depend heavily on your help!
Festival information and entertainment
schedules are being posted to the website as they
become available. Please pass this letter/form on
to your friends and/or co-workers. Make
it a day - bring a group to volunteer! If you’re interested
in working on a committee, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Paulene Eyer
Volunteer Coordinator
