Volunteers Needed
General volunteers are needed to put on an event of this size. These are folks that are willing to pitch in where needed.
Hospitality volunteers are needed. This can be as simple as baking a batch of cookies so there are treats for the officials andvolunteers. Hospitality voluteers might also help set up lunches and the opening and closing ceremonies.
We need volunteers to help judge the distance the ski jumpers fly down the hill. No previous experience is necessary. One or two afternoons of training before the competition is needed. The jumping competitions take place March 4-6 in the morning and Saturday March 7th in the afternoon.
We also need help with the cross country ski races. The races are in the afternoon at Kincaid, March 4th - 6th.
