Volunteer: Millwork Night Market - Tear DownIf you've ever been to the Millwork Night Market and wondered, "How do I get involved with awesome community events like these?", the universe has answered, THIS IS IT! If you haven't been to the Millwork Night Market, you SHOULD! Once a month, we invite the community down to Dubuque's Millwork District to enjoy handmade crafts, fresh produce, live music, food trucks, and an array of local beers on tap from 5-8pm. Thousands of people join us on Jackson St (between 7th and 9th streets) to celebrate the 2nd Thursday of the Summer Months (May-October). Some of the people who walk in have questions about where the bathrooms are, how to buy beer, or where particular vendors are located. This is where you come in! We are looking for 1-3 volunteer(s) to sit at the Market Info Tent to guide or answer people's questions. That's it. Super easy, right? Any difficult questions or situations can easily be handed to the friendly on-site manger, who you'll meet right away! We typically only NEED one person at the info booth, but if you'd like to bring a friend or two, please have them sign up as well! There's not a strict dress code or anything, but between 5 & 8pm, the temperature does tend to drop. We try to remember a sweatshirt or coat even during the Summer months after having learned that lesson the hard way! Please remember to bring a reusable water bottle if needed, the market does not offer disposable water bottles to purchase, but the info booth has a water refill station!
