Almonte Celtfest 2015 Needs Your Help!
We really need volunteers to help in a variety of areas to make this year's Celtfest a success. The needs include, but are not limited to the following list, so if you think you have some time and talent to offer, please contact Trish Sawers at tin_ceilings@hotmail.com or by phone at 613 294-0319, or email Cathie, almonteceltfest@hotmail.com for more information, and to register as a volunteer. Orientation to volunteering will take place at a BBQ scheduled for 6 pm on June 9, 2015 at which time, volunteers will receive a t shirt and information about their roles.
Some of the needs include:
working with children at the Little Celtz tent
working with seniors at the Senior's Tent
parking
welcoming at the gates
information and merchandise booth
running errands among the workers
helping backstage
set-up and take-down of the main stage, and other equipment
selling raffle tickets on site
doing a survey of attenders about their Celtfest experience
Another need for the Celtfest is for buskers to play music on Mill Street in downtown Almonte during festival hours. Apart from the festivities in Gemmill Park, lots of festival attenders like to wander to the shops and restaurants in the nearby town, so busking is a great opportunity to share your musical or dance talent while making some money! For more information and to audition, please contact Jane Hans at jane.hans@sympatico.ca, or contact Cathie, almonteceltfest@hotmail.com
Some of our performers need accommodation for one or two nights during the festival, and billeting is a way for their needs to be met without Celtfest incurring the full expense of commercial accommodations. If you could provide bed and possibly breakfast for one or more people in your home, please contact David Baril at dpbaril@gmail.com, or contact Cathie, almonteceltfest@hotmail.com
Vendor space is gradually filling up, but if you would like to sell your wares at Gemmill Park during the festival, we can still accommodate artisan vendors, for $150 for the weekend. For more information, or to discuss vendor opportunities, please contact Liz at vendors.almonteceltfest@hotmail.com ,
, or contact Cathie at almonteceltfest@hotmail.com. Thanks to all our volunteers who are currently working hard to organize the Celtfest!! Without your support, we could not provide this amazing show to so many people at a family affordable rate. Looking forward to meeting new volunteers, and welcoming back experienced volunteers in the next month!!
