The Tanana Valley State Fair is coming up fast. The dates this year are Friday, July 28 through Sunday, August 6. The Alaska Peace Center will have a booth at the Fair, as we have for many years! We once again need people to staff the booth and meet the public.
This is an opportunity to be Present for Peace at the biggest social gathering in interior Alaska. It is a remarkable opening to interact with the public, gain insight into other people’s understanding of world affairs, deepen our own understanding of what we mean by “Peace”, and to exercise our ability to be people of Peace.
There are three shifts per day over the ten-day span of the Fair, and many of them are still open. Follow the link below to see them. We need at least one person per shift, and two would be great! Many of you come out to help year after year. We need you again this year! The Peace Center will provide a ticket to the Fair for the day you volunteer. You can sign up for a shift directly at the Booth Schedule Google Doc, or send an email or a text (or call!) Alan Batten at the contact info below. Volunteer for one, two, or three shifts, meet the people, ask folks their opinions and experiences on current and historic issues. Be amazed!
Dates: Friday July 28 – Sunday August 6
Shifts: noon-3pm; 3-6pm; 6-10pm
Current volunteer schedule sheet is here.
Thanks so much to those who have already signed up!
