The group is in need of several people to help out during the three-day event. Individual volunteers must be 15 years of age or older. Families are welcome to volunteer to work together as a group, as are local organizations.

All volunteers will receive a Woodbury Days T-shirt and a packet of gift certificates and goodies from several area businesses.
