Hootenanny Volunteer Schedule

We have a lot of new volunteers this year, which is great! Our Halloween Day volunteer schedule is as follows: 

  • 10am Rotarians and heavy lifters for site setup.
  • 2pm "Day-of" volunteers for final site prep & decorating. Vendor set-up.  
  • 5pm "All-call" for event volunteers, including assignments for running games, food service, security and other functions. Meet at "Rotary tent" or as otherwise directed by signage or announcements.
For insurance purposes , all volunteers will be required to sign in and sign a volunteer waiver- including name, phone and email address. A volunteer orange vest will be issued at that time. The vests must be returned when you leave. Questions may be addressed to the identified Event Safety Officer at NewportNCRotary@gmail.com.  

Great Weather Forecasted for Hootenanny

Our friends at Weather.com have forecasted a mild evening with temps falling from the low 70s into the upper 60s in the evening, light winds from the south and a very small chance of precipitation. See the forecast below as of the time of posting. Click the graphic to enlarge.

Hootenanny Volunteers are Out Canvassing for Support!

One of our favorite photos-
the 2022 Hootenanny under the lights! 
Newport Rotarians will be out and about in the community over the next month canvassing for the support of our Hootenanny business and community sponsors. Sponsor levels and benefits remain unchanged from 2022. Due to inflation affecting candy, prize and food costs, our volunteers will be requesting that sponsors consider a donation in the next highest giving category, if possible.

The Hootenanny is one of the things that makes our community special and we
want to keep it FREE for our participants. We encourage everyone to contribute, if they can.

For the latest news, go to the Hootenanny website at https://newport-hootenanny.blogspot.com/

Your check can be made out to "Newport Rotary", and mailed to P O Box 118, Newport, NC 28570.

Email us or call 252-223-4411 to donate today!
