Children's Festival Volunteer Information
Thank you for volunteering! Volunteers are the backbone of our organization. Currently, it takes about 2,000 dedicated and supportive community members to make the Children’s Festival a success. All volunteers are admitted free of charge. Please sign-in at the Volunteer Check-in near the Main Gate/Britt Ticket Booth. Hospitality will provide light snacks and drinks. They will not provide a meal. Please remember to bring your own food and drink! Or, you may purchase food at the Dragon Deli booth. Comfortable shoes, hat, sun glasses and sunscreen may also keep you smiling.
Please Note! In an effort to reduce our waste, we encourage everyone to bring their own water bottle. Thank you!

 2016 Children's Festival Queen Karin |
It's good to be Queen!It was a magical 50th Children's Festival coronation and a wonderful surprise for a very deserving Queen.
We are thrilled and honored to announce the Queen of the 50th Children's Festival, Karin Dailey. Karin was chosen to be the Queen for this historical year because she embodies so many wonderful gifts and qualities that exemplify what The Children's Festival and The Storytelling Guild represent. Congratulations Karin! |
Volunteer Registration
We are excited to announce that we will be doing ALL volunteer sign-ups on-line/electronically, including the signing of the Minor Medical Release Waiver. EVERYONE…major chairs, booths chairs, and booth volunteers need to register.
*For those of you who have already been collecting volunteer information, and perhaps even the signed Minor Medical Release Waivers, we ask that you still PLEASE send them the link to re-register. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but I promise it will only take a couple of minutes for them to fill out the new form, and it will allow us to more efficiently organize and manage our volunteer database
*please note that while the adult needs to fill out the form for the minor, allowing them to sign the Medical Release form, it is important that for "PERSONAL INFORMATION" they provide the personal information for the individual volunteering
This process will allow us to be more efficient in the organizing of our volunteers' information, including the emergency medical information needed for all minors. Online registration will CLOSE the Friday before festival so it is important to ensure that all of your volunteers sign-up prior to arriving at Festival.
MAJOR CHAIRS…it is your responsibility to ensure that all of your booth chairs are using the online registration link for all of their volunteers to sign-up.
Here is the link to register:
