Year of the Trail Feature: Cabelands
![Did you know last year's Festival for the Eno was powered by 520 volunteers? Those 520 hard-working, fun-loving folks filled 749 individual shifts over twelve days. Of those 749 shifts, 656 of them were during the two days of the festival. That's a lot of volunteer power!
This year we are looking to fill 873 slots. Yes, you read that right, 873. We need your help. Put your handy skills to work helping to set up or break down the site. Take a few one-hour shifts directing traffic at the gate. Drive a truck through the park to collect bags of recycling and trash.
We're offering a few incentives beyond getting into the festival free of charge. Work five hours over the two days of the festival and get a free raffle ticket. Work two shifts with Trash Free and get a free raffle ticket AND a free t-shirt.
