CALLING
ALL REPTILE AND INSECT LOVERS
Turlock,
CA—
If you have affection for alligators,
pythons and insects then you will be in love
with the volunteer opportunity at this
year’s Stanislaus County Fair.
The
Stanislaus County Fair is seeking volunteers
to assist at the Brad’s World Reptiles
interactive educational exhibit during this
year’s fair. The theme of this year’s fair
is “Summer Safari,” so fair officials have
booked an indoor exhibit that will feature
some of the world’s most beautiful and
exotic reptiles. The zoo-quality exhibit
includes showstoppers such as alligators,
large pythons (including albinos), beautiful
parrots, huge live insects and many other
fascinating creepy crawlies and reptile
artifacts!
Officials from Brad’s World Reptiles will
train volunteers to talk with fair guests
about the animals, reptiles and insects and
to handle certain reptiles that will be
available for fair guests to touch.
Volunteers must be age 16 or over, must have
their own transportation and must be able to
stand for several hours at a time. In
addition, volunteers must be available
during daytime hours on Wednesday, July 25,
for a four hour mandatory volunteer
training.
During the
10-day run of the fair, July 27 through
August 5, volunteers will be scheduled for
five or more shifts. Weeknight shifts are
from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. and weekend
shifts are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 5 p.m.
to 11 p.m. Complimentary fair admission and
parking is provided on days and nights
worked.
To sign-up
