Hello food lovers,
You’ve heard me talk about it before. The time has finally come for the Kickapoo Country Fair! This is one of the most fun events we take part in, and last year people had so much fun, some called it one of the best experiences of their lives! This year is bound to be even more exciting, as we are more involved in the programming of the festival, and hope to bring an even bigger group.
Here’s a chance for you to help out at a really fun food/entertainment festival in July. Slow Food UW will be co-managing the two food-related tents at the Kickapoo Country Fair on Saturday July 25 – Sunday July 26. This means we have a lot of great (and easy) work to do and opportunities
for you to volunteer for a good cause.
We are seeking volunteers for both days to help with various tasks around the two food event tents. Besides being a fun event, you get many freebies and meet awesome people. And to make it even better, for each hour your volunteer, Organic Valley will donate $7 to Slow Food UW, and we’ll be that much closer to being able to open our cafe! All of the details and sign-up forms are here: http://kickapoo.slowfooduw.org/
The fair is in La Farge, WI – about a 2 hour drive from Madison – located at the edge of the Kickapoo Reserve in one of the state’s most beautiful river valleys. Volunteers also have the opportunity to camp on-site at the fair with us (if you sign up early!). Again, see all the details at the website above.
We are also arranging ride-sharing for volunteers and others looking to attend the fair. We hope to have carpools going out to the Festival on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings, and returning to Madison on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
To sign-up to drive or get a ride go to: http://kickapoo.slowfooduw.org/
For any questions or to just let us know you’re interested via email, please email kickapoo@slowfooduw.org.
Thanks and we hope to see you there!
