If you have not volunteered to help at the Association’s food booth at the Farm Show, call PVGA today at 717-694-3596. We need at least 25 volunteers in the booth at all the times. Since the Farm Show runs from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., we need two shifts to completely cover each day from January 7 to 14, 2017. That translates into a lot of volunteers. Plus, this year we will again be open the afternoon of Friday, January 6, from noon to 9:00 p.m.
You say you don’t come to the Farm Show? Why not break tradition and come for once? It’s worth the trip just to volunteer your time to the Association and any farmer is bound to see at least a few things of interest at the Farm Show. There is a wide array of exhibits throughout the Complex. Are you really too busy in the middle of the winter to take a day off to help support vegetable and small fruit research? Last year we earned about $100 for each volunteer shift enabling the Association to give over $81 per member to Penn State research.
We are grateful to the many PVGA members who help out each year but we need new volunteers each year. If YOU have never helped before, PLEASE call us today at 717-694-3596 and volunteer for 2017. You’ll be helping your Association besides having an enjoyable time.
We are also looking to recruit growers to staff a high tunnel educational display this year. If you would be interested in helping with that effort, please contact us at 717-694-3596 or pvga@pvga.org.
