The Fentress County Fair depends on people who are willing to share their time, skills and community spirit. Volunteer needs vary by event and fair activity.
From preparing the grounds to helping visitors and supporting events, volunteers can play an important role in creating a welcoming and successful fair.
Potential needs may include grounds preparation, signs, displays and event setup.
Some volunteers may help provide directions or support visitor information areas.
Departments and events may need approved helpers for check-in, organization or support tasks.
Post-event cleanup and fairground closeout help prepare the grounds for the next activity.
Assignments depend on current needs, age, experience, availability and approval by the Fair Board or event chairperson.
Contacting the fair does not guarantee an assignment. The Fair Board will match volunteers with approved needs when possible.
Use the Contact page and select volunteer interest as the reason for your message.
Include your age, available dates and times, relevant experience and any group or organization affiliation.
A board member or event chairperson will follow up if an appropriate volunteer opportunity is available.
Review these common questions before contacting the Fair Association.
