The 2022 U.P. State Fair is from August 15th - 21st, and we need your help! Take a look at the following volunteer opportunities.
TENT SETUP
On Friday, August 12th at 10:00 AM, we need at least 6 volunteers to help set up the tent. Volunteers will meet at Bethany, to help load the tent, chairs, tables, etc. Then volunteers will go to the fair and help set up the event tent. Please call Kelly in the church office at 786-6642 if you can help!
TENT STAFF
We are looking for volunteers to staff the water tent sponsored by the Delta Conference Churches. Bethany's day to run the tent is Thursday, August 18th. We will need 3 volunteers for each shift. Shifts we still need covered are one person for 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM and THREE for 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM. Sign-up sheets are in the Narthex and circle drive entryway. Each volunteer will sell bottled water and treats and maintain cleanliness of our area. Volunteers get free passes to enter the fair!
CRAFTS WITH KIDS
Elaine Peterson runs our craft with kids table and needs one volunteer each afternoon beginning Tuesday, August 16th through Saturday, August 20th. Times are 1 PM to 5 PM each day. So far, we only have Thursday the 18th covered. Sign-up sheets are in the Narthex and circle drive entryway.
BAKED GOODS
On Thursday, August 18th, when Bethany staffs the booth at the fair, we will be in need of a large amount of baked goods to sell. We will need individually wrapped cookies and bars - 3 X 3 inch sized bars or cookies work best. Please avoid anything with heavy frosting as it melts on hot days at the fairgrounds! If nuts are used, you must mark each individually wrapped item appropriately. Sign-up sheets are in the Narthex and circle drive entry, and baked goods will need to be at the church office by 2:00 PM on Wednesday, August 17th.
Bethany has had a tent in the U.P. State Fair since 2014, and it’s been growing ever since, allowing us to raise over $16,000 for the ELCA Clean Water Initiative. Join us at the fair and be a part of this amazing ministry!
