GRUB CRAWL – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

Volunteering for this event is a great way to help us out while enjoying this event for FREE! Every restaurant requires 2 adults to help the Grub Crawlers get started and to direct them to their location in your assigned restaurant. We ask our volunteers to meet at the Chamber office at 5:15pm (July 28th) to pick up your list of attendees and wristbands and general information. Then you report to your assigned restaurant and meet up with the first group of “crawlers”. You will be stationed at your restaurant until 8:00pm. After that, you are welcome to enjoy the rest of the evening “grub crawling”! These slots fill up early so please let us know ASAP. Only those working are given free passes so let us know if a friend, spouse or co-worker will be working with you (will need names for name tags). FIRST-COME-FIRST-SERVE!

July 31-August 1
