Call for Volunteers

Volunteers are being recruited as Fall Heritage Festival gears up for its 2024 Festival. Volunteers are an essential part of bringing this FREE family-friendly event to Cowan. You are welcome to attend the Festival planning meetings - 6 pm every Thursday through 9/12 at Cowan Development Co. 110 Tennessee Avenue South, Cowan.

We will need help during setup Thursday, Sept. 19 after 5 pm; and Friday, Sept. 20 at 7 am - 3 pm.  Will require some lifting.
Or just show up at the Information Booth during the Festival hours all three days to volunteer.

“This event could not operate without volunteers,” states Mark Ledbetter, chairman of the Festival Committee. “They are the local heroes that help us provide a fun-filled weekend to the community. I want to publicly thank all our volunteers for their dedication and continued hard work.”

Whatever your skill, opportunities are available, including but not limited to the following:
• Kids activities
• Booth sitters and go-fers during festival
• Set-up and break-down vendors before and after the festival
• Runners on standby for whatever is needed

Please note: Some volunteer positions will require heavy lifting. Other may require specialized knowledge, particularly those dealing with festival electrical set-up and teardown, and with staffing the entertainment stages. Volunteers for these positions will need to have their qualifications evaluated by the festival chair to verify their ability to fulfill the tasks they've volunteered for.
