AZ Highland Celtic Festival - July 16 and 17
Arizona Highland Celtic Festival - July 16 & 17, 2016 -
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 and Geology of Celtic Regions”. Plants and materials
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. Your audience in the tent 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 the day you are volunteering!
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!)
