Hear ye Hear ye! Volunteers needed for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival Dog Gate
It’s time to sign up for shifts to volunteer at the Dog Gate at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. The dates for the Renaissance Festival are: weekends August 19 through October 1, 2017. Plus Labor Day (Sept. 4) and Festival Friday (Sept 29).
Volunteers are needed to work a 4 1/2 hour morning or afternoon shift at the Dog Gate and your efforts will be royally rewarded with free entrance to the fair before or after your shift, $6 worth of FREE FESTIVAL FOOD—and the best part—a FREE ticket to return to the Festival for another day of fun!
(Volunteers working the last weekend have option for a free Trail of Terror ticket)
Helping at the Dog Gate is fun and easy—a team of four volunteers each shift checks in dogs visiting the Festival and provides them with a Festival pet tag and goody bag. *For their safety since this job requires working with incoming dogs of unknown temperament;, a volunteer’s pet dog, a Can Do Canines puppy in training and graduate dogs will need to stay home for this volunteer opportunity.
Again this year, we will have a wonderful volunteer supervisor on each shift to help the process go smoothly. And there is a shuttle service that runs from Mystic Lake to the Renaissance Festival—a great feature to park and ride for the afternoon shifts! Contact Jim Vescera at fishbo69@yahoo.com to choose a date and shift (a.m. or p.m.) Training will be provided by our supervisors, and more details will be communicated when you contact Jim. The festival does require that all volunteers must be 16 years or older to work at the dog gate.
This is an easy, fun, and great fundraiser for Can Do Canines! Huzzah!
