VOLUNTEER AT THE 2010 FAIR

Every year over 1800 Fair fans volunteer their time during the Fair's 11-day run. We couldn't do it without them. There are three groups of volunteers.

Little Hands on the Farm Volunteers
Little Hands on the Farm is a fully interactive ag-experience for kids. Volunteers staff each station where kids do various farm chores, sell their produce at the market and then use their money to buy an item at the Little Hands Grocery Store.

If you are interested or know of a group who would be interested in volunteering for the 2010 Fair, please contact Emily Brewer at 515/262-3111 ext. 244 or ebrewer@iowastatefair.org. Little Hands volunteers receive one free admission ticket, one parking pass and a Little Hands on the Farm t-shirt for their four hour commitment.

Information Volunteers
This dedicated group staffs information booths and diaper-changing/nursing stations.

An application will be posted in the spring. For further details on becoming an information volunteer, contact the Manager's Office by emailing clundeen@iowastatefair.org or calling 515/262-3111 x234.

Blue Ribbon Foundation Volunteers
These volunteers sell bottled water and Iowa State Fair merchandise at stands throughout the grounds. All proceeds of the Blue Ribbon Foundation go toward Fairgrounds renovations. Visit their web site for more information.
