Market Fair Volunteers Needed

Read the 2024 Market Fair Volunteer Notice

People wishing to volunteer for the 2024 Market Fair setup, Road Watch duties, Registration Tent, HQ Tent, etc., please sign up on this SIGNUP Website.

We can always use volunteers to help with Market Fair - whether you are a registered participant, a day tripper, or not dressing up at all, but just want to help.  The work parties will begin on Tuesday at 9 AM, when we will meet at the dining fly by Capt. Wort's store.   A member of the Market Fair Committee will be there to coordinate volunteer assignments. There will be a mandatory volunteer meeting on Tuesday at 4:00 pm under the large dining fly beside Capt. Wort's store.

We need volunteers to help with Fair equipment setup and/or teardown, the Auction, manning the Friends Headquarters tent, Gate Registration, managing incoming camper and sutler traffic, shuttle drivers (golf carts) for handicap assistance, clearing vehicles out of camp in the evening, and more. The volunteer Coordinator will be the contact to assign all duties.

Campers and Sutlers who volunteer to help with event setup and/or tear down may set up their camp as early as Monday of Market Fair week (but no earlier.) No early setup is allowed unless you are volunteering and have received confirmation of that from the Volunteer Coordinator. 

The Friends of Fort Frederick State Park contributes support to the park by sponsoring educational activities and programs throughout the year, as well as contributing financially to support the park's historical, cultural and administrative needs.
