“The music is great. The barbecue is the best. Rides are fun, and crafts are beautiful. But it’s the volunteers who make the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival work,” festival organizers said.
The festival, set for June 8 and 9 at Harmon Field in Tryon, needs between 300 and 500 community volunteers.
“This is a community festival, and community volunteers – whether long-timers or first-timers, individuals, families or groups – make it happen,” organizers said.
In addition to getting the popular “Volunteer” tee shirt, the volunteers will get free admission both days, convenient parking and a meal voucher.
You can volunteer online at www.BlueRidgeBBQFestival.com. There are lots of positions to choose from.
The festival is an annual event organized by the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce. For more information, and for sponsorship opportunities, call the festival office at 828-859-RIBS (7427) or visit BlueRidgeBBQFestival.com.
