Volunteers are needed to assist with tables, chairs, signage, moving of equipment, lights, and general setup. Able to help? Call Brian: (810) 240-1607 or email [email protected] Parking Help Needed Every guest’s experience at Applefest begins the moment they pull onto our grounds—and that means parking duty is more than just directing cars, It’s an important act of hospitality. Our parking volunteers help set the tone for the entire festival, greeting guests with a friendly smile and ensuring they feel welcomed, cared for, and safe from the very first interaction. We’re looking for volunteers to serve on the Parking Team during the festival hours on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This is a crucial part of our hospitality, and your help will make a huge difference in how guests experience Applefest. If you can help, please email [email protected] or call/text 734-748-9903. |
