You should aim to arrive about 15 minutes before your shift begins and report to the shift manager in the ticket tent. You will need to remain at your post until the next shift workers arrive to relieve you.
Wear a BCC shirt if you have one. It is usually fairly hot during the festival so hats, sunglasses and suntan lotion can be helpful. We will do out best to provide shade and water to volunteers. Wear comfortable shoes. We also encourage you to leave personal and valuable items in your car during your shift. A positive attitude and servant heart are essential ☺
The best place to park is in the Kroger parking lot close to Dayton-Xenia Road. The Children’s Area is located in the American Legion parking lot next to Taco Bell. Please note that parking can be a challenge to find so allow extra time to find a spot.
By all means, yes! We encourage you and your family to work together or even to invite your friends or neighbors you are investing in.
Inflatables must have at least one adult at all times and we encourage only older teenagers to assist. We’d advise children 12 and under not run a game without a responsible helper nearby.
If you can’t work the shift you signed up for, please do your best to find a replacement. If you are unable to get a substitute, contact the church office as soon as possible so we can make sure your post is covered. In most cases, you will be able to manage your own sign-up from our Sign Up Genius form.
We are not ordering new tshirts for 2021 as we have many leftover from 2020 and will be giving them out to all volunteers who need one, while supplies last. We cannot guarantee we will have a shirt in the correct size for every volunteer. It would be preferable for you to be wearing a BCC shirt, but if you do not have one, don’t sweat it!
