Volunteers Needed for Festival

Volunteers are needed for Festival. By volunteering for a short shift at a tour home, an info booth, or on a security detail, you can score a free ticket to tour the houses, or a free festival shirt, depending upon where you volunteer. It’s fun, takes up 2 1/2 hours of the entire weekend, and you know you’ve helped make the 2012 Festival the best festival yet!
