RibFest: Saturday, August 7, 2-4pm or 4-6 pm
MYPG will be manning 2 gates at RibFest — taking money, stamping hands, answering questions (an FAQ sheet will be provided).
It’ll be a 2-hour shift with another MYPG’er at the same gate. We need a total of 8 volunteers, but will definitely take more if there
is interest.
Please RSVP to Sharm at: SMKnecht@gmail.com and you will also receive free admission (normally $5) for their volunteer work.
Saturday RibFest runs noon to 10 pm with live bands on three stages until 5pm.
