Hootenanny Volunteers Needed

Raise your Hand if you Volunteer for the Newport Halloween Hootenanny

Dear Newport Community: It takes about 60 volunteers to fully staff the Newport Halloween Hootenanny Saturday night. We currently have about 20 solid commitments. Newport always turns out, but please consult your calendar- WE NEED YOU. The primary need is for Saturday from 5:00-9:00 pm for volunteers for games, concessions, and oversight. There is no set-up or tear-down required- only fun! Set-up volunteers are needed beginning at Noon on Friday and Saturday. If you can come, please send your details in the Volunteer for the Hootenanny contact box on our website at newport-hootenanny.blogspot.com, email us at newporthootenanny@gmail.com, or call Hootenanny Central at 252-240-9120. Thanks, Hootenanny Staff.
