Area residents wanting to be a part of local events without the lengthy commitment could find their match volunteering for this year’s DinoFest.
A volunteer for DinoFest from June 13 through June 15 could put in a short shift and still be home in time to update Facebook before dinner.
Angela Keibel of the Drumheller Festival Society said volunteer shifts are kept to a four hour block.
“We keep the volunteer shifts short so it’s not onerous for the volunteers, and they can enjoy the DinoFest and have fun.”
Feel good, have some fun, and receive a free t-shirt for volunteering.
DinoFest starts on Friday the 13th, and volunteers are needed that morning to help pick up and set up chairs for A Taste of Drumheller.
Volunteers are needed for the information booth - which includes specific information for the public on DinoFest and volunteer intake and registration - the pancake breakfast, KidZone and security.
“One of the difficult things we have is finding on-site security for midnight to 7 a.m. for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night,” said Keibel.
There will be an R.V. available for security to use while they are not patrolling the site, she adds.
She said ideally DinoFest would like two people to cover those security shifts.
There is a volunteer application to download from the DinoFest website at www.drumhellerdinofest.com, under the heading “Contact.”

DinoFest events are at the Badlands Community Facility, Spray Park, and Centre Street, and there will be other events held throughout town.
