Hello Everyone,
Hope you are all staying warm out there today with this bitter Arctic blast! This week, I am not doing a business highlight. Instead I am making a call for volunteers to help us get through the Renaissance Festival. This year’s event will be held over Memorial Weekend (Friday, Saturday, & Sunday). Lead is expected to have upwards of 3000 people visit just for Ren Fest that weekend! This will be amazing for Lead’s businesses, but I also need volunteers to help man the ticket booth and other various roles. Please if you are interested reach out to me ASAP so I can get you scheduled on the list. I am looking for up to 20 volunteers to help throughout the weekend and rotate stations. Volunteers will also get free admission to the Renaissance Festival!
