Volunteers are given breakfast and lunch and a ticket to the Fair for approximately 4 hours of help. You will also get a sneak peak at all the Fair exhibits.


You can find the volunteer application on our website, or you can always call our Exhibit Superintendent, Karen Howe, at the office for more info: (925)757-4400.
