We Need Your Help
The shows just aren't complete without the most important part - You! 
 
 
 
Without someone to announce the classes, run the gates, set the barrels and pass out the ribbons we can't run our shows each week.  Volunteers are needed for each position before the show can start so check out our list of needs each week. 

As a volunteer you not only get to make sure the show runs smoothly, but you can enjoy an evening of great performances.  Don't forget to ask about volunteer opportunities at the show
 
 
Listed below are all the volunteer positions that need to be filled for each show to run effectively.  If you see something that interests you we would love to have your help.
