The last weekend of September is the Fremont Oktoberfest – one of the greatest beer festivals in the world! Seriously! The organizers, Bold Hat Productions, have the awards to prove it.
However, the festival depends upon the generosity of a huge cadre of volunteers – including you! Particularly on Saturday evening, September 24th, for the 7p – close (11:45p) shift. Fremont Oktoberfest needs pour-ers to get the beer out and keep the festival from having to shut down early.
Oktoberfest funds the Fremont Chamber of Commerce, including their community grants program that gives financial support to many popular Fremont activities and programs. See the lastest list of recipients from a Fremocentrist.com column posted Jul 6, 2011.
How do you sign-up? Go to the Fremont Oktoberfest website and use their Shiftboard program, or contact the Fremont Chamber Executive Director Jessica Vets for more details.
Remember, volunteers get several thank you gifts for their time – as well as the awareness that they’ve participated in keeping Fremont an active, vital community with plenty of neat things going on…beyond Oktoberfest!
