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.
