Olney Days Inflatable Set up/Take down

Description

Inflatables Set-Up & Take-Down Volunteer

Olney Days – Party in the Park

     Party in the Park is a beloved Olney Days tradition that brings the entire community together to celebrate the town. This year, eight large inflatables will transform the ball field at Olney Manor Park into a hub of fun — and we need strong, dependable volunteers to help make it happen. Volunteers will assist with setting up and taking down the inflatables under the direction of professional staff from the inflatable company.

     Responsibilities include:

  • Lifting and moving equipment (must be able to lift at least 50 lbs)
  • Safely handling bulky materials
  • Following instructions carefully
  • Showing up on time and ready to work

     Because take-down is much easier when you understand how everything was assembled, volunteers are strongly encouraged to sign up for both shifts if possible (but not required). After confirmation of your sign up, Volunteers will communicate and report to Carter Darrington, owner of Empire Inflatables that is providing the equipment.

     Please note: Inflatables are weather-dependent. If rain causes the field to close, this volunteer opportunity will be canceled. In that case, volunteers will be notified by email by 9:00 am on May 2.

     Thank you for helping bring the fun to Olney!
