Build the forest!
Help create the forest walkways and scene spaces by setting up the ceiling cable grids and wiring up trees to the grid following the presentation floor plan.
CABLE SETUP: Sign up for Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon to set up ceiling cable grid only. Need the ability to climb a ladder and be comfortable using scaffolding.
WIRING UP TREES & HANGING LIGHTS: All other shifts are spent wiring up trees to the ceiling grid and adding lighting to the grid following a floor plan. Need the ability to climb a ladder and be comfortable using scaffolding.
Also, there are a lot of ground workers needed to sort and move trees around, assist folks who are on ladders, sweep, and perform many other ground-level activities.
All are welcome including youth 16 or older. Those under 16 can help if accompanied by an adult. Dress warmly as the venue is not heated. Sturdy shoes and gloves are suggested.
