Arizona Highland
Celtic Festival - July 18 &
19, 2015 - Foxglenn Park
Come be a part of
the fun and share your experience and knowledge by participating in the
educational volunteer opportunities at this amazing summertime event! For the
past several years the annual Arizona Highland Celtic Festival event has
featured an educational component in a tented area called the “Plants of
Celtic Regions”. Plants and trees are graciously donated for the festival
weekend by Viola’s Flower Garden and placards have been created that connect
each plant and tree to various Celtic regions, stories, and legends. This year
our goal is to feature energetic CMGA volunteers who can enhance and engage
festival attendees through their knowledge and personal experience with the
various plants as well as talk about gardening in Northern Arizona.
Opportunities are also available for CMGA volunteers to provide
45-minute presentations on Celtic lore and medicine relative to herbal remedies,
concoctions, secrets and myths. Your audience in the tent and for presentations
will range from youngsters to well-seasoned festival attendees so you can use
your imagination, experience and have fun!
Here are the
facts:
This volunteer
opportunity has been approved by the CMGA.
By volunteering
for a shift at the Arizona Highland Celtic Festival you will receive a festival
t-shirt, name tag, and free admission to the festival for Saturday and Sunday!
There are five
time slots available for volunteering and yes, volunteering in pairs is ok and
fun so invite your favorite friend to join you in this unique experience!
(No dogs are
allowed inside the Festival grounds….sorry!)
