Volunteer: Holidog Bazaar Set Up Helper

Here is the link to sign up:   Holidog Bazaar Setup Helper

We could use some help setting up for our largest fundraiser of the year: Holidog Bazaar 2025!

Volunteers are needed during the day on Friday, December 5th.  We start at around 8am and if we have enough helpers are usually done by 3-4pm or earlier!

Some shifts start at our shelter loading up all the goods, merchandise and raffle baskets (please don't carry them by the plastic bag wrapped around them!)

Some shifts start at the event venue (near NewBo)  moving tables and chairs getting everything set up and ready.

Some shifts involve setting out merch making sure it looks "pretty" (and not sloppy/throw together) and pricing items).

Lots to do and we could use the help if you're free during the daytime!

Thanks in advance!

p.s. We do have a few pack up shifts still for AFTER our actual event on Saturday Dec 6th concluded (same link)
