We will work together as a group and make our way all throughout Arts Fest, making sure that the many trash and recycling cans get emptied and are available for the many attendees. Not only is this a unique way to see Arts Fest, it’s also a great way to see all of the effort and appreciation that goes into creating and running such a large event. We will also be making a well-timed pit stop at Zeno’s or A’s Pub halfway through our shift for some much deserved refreshment. Additionally, if you cannot commit to the entire 3 hours but still want to help out, just let us know.
