Registration has begun for TwainFest 2017

Hello TwainFest volunteers! Happy 2017! We're officially beginning registration for TwainFest 2017 taking place this year on Saturday, August 19. We would love to have you join us again for this wonderful celebration of literature, theatre, history, and art. There are a couple of new things this year so please read below:


  • This year we've added Event Support Specialist positions. These are more intensive positions which will require additional training and longer volunteer shifts. Examples include Food & Beverage Specialists (prepping and assisting with the Casa de Estudillo, Queen of Hearts Tea Party, etc.), Supply Specialists (checking in with venues and games to ensure they have tickets, prizes, and general supplies throughout the day), Construction Specialists (helping specifically with set-up on the days leading up to TwainFest and tear down after the event), and more positions to be announced. These positions are great for volunteers who want more hands on experience with event planning and the magic that makes TwainFest possible!
  • TwainFest is adding a new, adult orientated event this year titled TwainFest After Dark! The details of this event are still being put together, but it will include food and adult beverages, performances, and experiences unlike anything else you experience during the day! We will need volunteers for TwainFest After Dark with exact times and roles TBD.

If either of these opportunities sound up your alley, you have an opportunity to select them on your volunteer re-registration. I will be conducting separate questionnaires and interviews for these positions.
