 The time has come once again for our largest (and most fun!) fundraising event of the year. As always, this IS our biggest moneymaker and your help and support are needed and appreciated. We need to staff the entire fair for the entire weekend. We need as many volunteers as possible and will welcome anyone willing to put in their time even if they are not part of either theatre group!

I continue to be responsible for organizing Lakeland Players interest in the Festival and need everyone who has specific requests for booths and/or times to contact me as soon as possible so I can try to keep everyone working where they would prefer to be. Some of you may be contacted directly by Booth Captains. Please, still contact me to let me know of your commitment so that there are not any misunderstandings about scheduling. For anyone who has not volunteered for this event before, please contact me with any questions you may have. You are definitely needed! The dates and times for this year are ...
Friday 9/24 10:00 am - 7:30 pm
Saturday 9/25 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
Saturday 9/25 2:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Sunday 9/26 11:00 am- 7:30 pm
Thank you in advance for volunteering your time. We're going to have a lot of fun this year. Huzzah!
