Volunteers Needed!

Without countless, dedicated volunteers, Dairyfest would not exist. Volunteering at Dairyfest is a great way to help out within the community and for high school students to earn their community service hours. There are many different ways to help, from behind the scenes to directly with the patrons. Volunteering at this years Dairyfest will be a fun and rewarding experience that you will not forget!

We are looking for persons interested in forming this year's committee as well as any people wishing to help out for events.
