We need lots of volunteers to help set up, help vendors get set up, monitor the park to make sure people are properly using the recycling and composting areas, staff the Mobilization for Animals’ registration and information tables, and help pack up at day’s end. Please spare a few hours for the Earth and all the species who share it!
Please post to any email lists, social media outlets, bulletin boards, or anything else to which you have access.
Also, if your organization or business would like to be a vendor or sponsor, that information is also on our website.
Hope to see you there, one way or another!
Thanks for anything you can do!
Take care,
Jenny
