Indiana State Fair- State Parks booth

It’s that time of year again, time to sign up to volunteer at the State Parks booth inside the DNR building at the Indiana State Fair! This year’s fair runs Aug. 4 – 20.

Working the booth gives you one day pass to the fair, as well as a parking pass. Bring the family, they can walk around while you volunteer and make a day of it!

Volunteers will be working with DNR staff by encouraging people to visit the booth, answer questions, pass out brochures and other items that might come up.  There will also be an artificial campfire surrounded by Leopold benches for folks to sit around.

Travel time can count toward your volunteer time.

If interested, email  Jody Heaston, jheaston@dnr.in.gov  the date(s) and time frame(s). A signed DNR Volunteer Service Agreement for Adults is also needed.  It can be downloaded at  http://www.in.gov/dnr/parklake/2443.htm . Please attach that when you reply with dates.

Time frames are 10 a.m.-2 p.m., 2 p.m.-5 p.m. or 5 p.m.-8 p.m.  The weekday evening  and weekend shifts are where most volunteers are needed.
