Hang Flyers for Harvest Fest!

Hey Prospect Farmers,
I need a street team to help me hang flyers for our Harvest Festival
in local businesses and pass out hand to hand at farmer’s markets in
the area. 

Please meet me this Saturday from noon to 1 pm to collect flyers and
sign up for an area to cover over the next 2 weeks. Tell you friends,
anyone can help!

Thanks for making this event happen!

Naomi

Hello Fellow Farmers,

educational games and tours, and more. We need help from 12-14 people
at the festival to see things run smoothly, donated bake sale items
(healthy is good), tables, chairs, hot plates, and for you to enter
our Soup Cook-Off Competition judged for prizes.

Its been a good year, and I look forward to spending a fun day with
the farm volunteers and community.

play for 45 minutes to 1.5 hours.
