Volunteers needed...Join the Team!

Each year PrairieFest organizers recruit 150 volunteers to help direct traffic, greet at the gates, sell tickets, and keep tables washed and the grounds clean.

PrairieFest volunteers are asked to work just one three hour shift sometime during the weekend, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the event with family and friends. Each volunteer is given a "We Sweat the Small Stuff" volunteer shirt to wear during their shift. This is a great way to give back to your community, meet new friends, and feel a part of Oswegoland's hometown celebration. Print volunteer application.

Contact Kristie Vest at 630.554.4425 or kvest@oswegolandpd.org with questions.
