Wychwood Barns Events and Volunteer Opportunities


And I quote:
"After a long, restful and hot summer the WBCA is back in full swing with some great opportunities to get involved with the Barns and the community! 

This Saturday - After last week's very successful corn roast at the market, we are once againg looking for people to help put on a corn roast promote and create interest surrounding "Caine's Arcade"  at the Barns on October 6th.  Organic corn from the market - Roast it!  Serve it!  Eat it!  Meet people!  Have fun!!! 

Nuit Blanche - Will be at the Barns on Saturday September 29th from 7pm on.  The WBCA will be hosting a terrific art project for kids and (kids at heart).  We will have a giant, 20 foot canvas (of sorts)  that we are asking people to paint to resemble the stacks at the barns.  (see our logo).  We will need a couple of people to help man that station.
We will also be selling baked goods alongside  Kurtis Coffee from the farmer's market and will be needing some people to help man that station.

Caine's Arcade - October 6th - 9am to 2pm.  This is a community event, put on by the support of the WBCA.  The event is inspired by the youtube sensation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faIFNkdq96U The vision of the event is to have local schools, children, businesses, community members, etc.  build an arcade game out of cardboard boxes.  The organizers are looking for people to help with the foot traffic, fix and repair the cardboard games as needed, filming of the event and general help.

BOO! Event Planners - one of the WBCA's most successful events is returning this Hallowe'en and we are looking for enthusiastic people to help lead the way in the areas of Arts and Crafts, Entertainment and Food and Beverage.  No experience is necessary.  A great way to see behind the scenes of a large event.

BOO! Event Day Volunteers - Saturday October 27 - 5pm on.  Many roles will need to be filled, from food and beverage service, to face painting, to arts and crafts.

Farmer's Market Attendants - Occasional Saturdays - The WBCA has a booth at the Farmer's Market every Saturday morning.  It is a great way to let the community know what is happening at the barns and to meet the people in the neighbourhood.

Please contact Ruth Butler at volunteerwbca@gmail.com if you (or someone you know) would like more information on how you can help with any of these events.

Many thanks and the WBCA looks forward to hearing from you!"

Cheers,

Vanessa
