Volunteer Positions -
WINE POURING - Is wine your thing? Do you enjoy drinking and discussing wine? We are looking for volunteers with knowledge and passion of wine. You will be stationed at a counter with 8-10 Iowa wines available daily. When you arrive you will be allowed to sample a few of the wines you may not have tried yet. After sampling, drinking is not allowed behind the counter. You will be allowed a lunch break during your shift (trust us, finding food is not a problem). You will also receive 1 shirt, 2 drink tickets, and a ticket to get you into the fair. Transportation and parking is your responsibility. The shirt and gate ticket will be handed out at an all volunteer meeting at 1:30pm on August 7th at Top of the Vine located on the fairgrounds.
BEER AND SODA SERVING - You will be stationed at a trailer with 13 taps. When you arrive you will be allowed to sample a few of the beers and sodas you may not have tried yet. After sampling, drinking is not allowed behind the counter. You will be allowed a lunch break during your shift (trust us, finding food is not a problem). You will also receive 1 shirt, 2 drink tickets, and a ticket to get you into the fair. Transportation and parking is your responsibility. The shirt and gate ticket will be handed out at an all volunteer meeting at 1:30pm on August 7th at Top of the Vine located on the fairgrounds.
TICKET & WRISTBANDS ‐ Are you good at math and comfortable handling money? Then this may be the job for you. You will be responsible for selling drink tickets to customers. Ticket Sales may also be asked to do wristbands as well. We need to make sure everyone drinking beer is 21, it's the law. This is a pretty easy going relaxing job of checking ID's and applying wristbands. The shirt and gate ticket will be handed out at an all volunteer meeting at 1:30pm on August 7th at Top of the Vine located on the fairgrounds.
SETUP ‐ We added this position last year and it was a great help, and fun. You will help with whatever needs done to help setup for the fair. You must be a hard worker and willing to help with any task that needs completed. You will receive 2 drink tickets, shirt, ticket to visit the fair at a later date (no ticket is needed on setup days), and we will buy you lunch. We have become very stream lined at setting up the fair so this job has become much more relaxed over the years. The shirt and gate ticket will be handed out at an all volunteer meeting at 1:30pm on August 7th at Top of the Vine located on the fairgrounds. TEARDOWN ‐ All good things must come to an end. Last year we thought a few extra hands that haven't been working for 14 days straight would of been great. You must be a hard worker, as we will take down everything except the tent before 5PM the day after the fair. We will provide lunch, drinks, a shirt, and a few other goodies to make it worth your while. At this point, we are so tired who knows what we will give you. The shirt and gate ticket will be handed out at an all volunteer meeting at 1:30pm on August 7th at Top of the Vine located on the fairgrounds.
