Hello Supporters of Coconino County Parks!
Friends of Coconino County Parks has some special activities planned during this year’s Coconino County Fair and we need your help.
The biggest “volunteer opportunity” involves the “Bike to the Fair” effort. We are encouraging fair-goers to save fossil fuels and parking money by riding their bikes to the Fair – and offering $1 off their admission as incentive for three of the four days. On the last day of the Fair, bike riders who arrive before noon receive a FREE admission for the rest of the day.
The Friends group will be managing this effort with one, two, or more people “parking bikes” throughout the four days of the Fair, September 3-6, 2010. The Fair is open 10am – 10pm Friday through Sunday, and 10am – 4pm on Monday. However, since there are no lights at the “bike parking area,” we’ll only be staffing the bike lot through 6pm on the long days. (Bike parking will be at the tennis courts, next to the Cochise Ramada.)
Volunteer time options are:
Friday: 10am – 2pm or 2pm – 6pm
Saturday: 10am – 2pm or 2pm – 6pm
Sunday: 10am – 2pm or 2pm – 6 pm
Monday: 10am – 2pm
Would you and your friends or family consider helping us out? In exchange for “working” one of the above time slots, we are happy to give you complimentary admission to the Fair (valid any day of the event). We’ll just need you to welcome bike riders, show them where they can park their bikes (they will bring their own locks), and “secure” the area through your presence. Additionally, we’d like to recruit more people to be on this Friends of Coconino County Parks e-list so that we can grow our efforts in supporting Coconino County Parks and Recreation and all that they do. We’ll have a sign-up list for that, along with some brochures and information you can give out.
If you are interested in helping out, please call Jenn Hartin at 928-600-3145. Thank you for your interest in County parks, trails, and open spaces – we hope to see you at the Coconino County Fair!
