On Thursday & Friday, Teri Silone and her team will be expecting you at the Volunteer Sign-in Desk at the Registration area of the Fairgrounds located at the Merchant Building. The team will get you checked in and will get you the information you need.

When you sign in, you will be issued a “Volunteer” T-shirt that we need you to wear as your outermost garment while you are working.
