Teams
Please join the fun and festivities
as a team member by volunteering for a 4-hour shift in one or more
of the following areas. Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older.
Merchandise/Information
Whether you like talking on the
phone or helping strangers find their way, work areas include; Festival
Office, Entrance Gate, Festival Information and Souvenirs Booth.
Volunteers will be expected to handle cash transactions, sales of
CBF merchandise and keep a running tally of sales. Volunteers who
can put in weekday hours are needed in the office prior to the festival.
Site Support
If hands-on activity is your thing,
this team has plenty of it! Site support is an area where the festival
always needs help. Duties could include helping with festival set-up,
transportation caravans and ice deliveries to vendors.
Wine Festival Team
Many of North Carolinas best
wineries will be on-site to provide tasting and wine sales. This
team will support the festival by providing ID checks, selling wine
glasses and giving support to the wineries.
Volunteer/Information Tent
Check in volunteers, issue T-Shirts,
direct volunteers to their assigned site and answer questions of
festival guests.
Parking
If you have any experience with
parking cars at big events then we need you! The airport provides
us with some big parking lots and we want to make sure people get
in and out of them safely.
Hot Air Balloon Chase Crew
If you like early mornings and late
evenings, know the roads around the airport and can read a map,
then this is your team. Some of our participating pilots will need
help for balloon flights and the balloon glow. Duties include helping
with inflation of the balloon, riding in the chase truck for retrieval
and packing up after landing. Strong legs and back are a must as
hot air balloons weigh over 200 lbs (which makes for some heavy
lifting). Chase crew volunteers must be 18 years or older.
