12pm-5pm: Artist Hospitality (up to 5 people)
This shift involves watching artist booths so they can get restroom or snack break. You do not have to process any sales, just let patrons know the artist will be back shortly and make sure items do not "walk away." This can also include bringing around bottled water for artists and general check-in. You may also assist musicians arriving for their performance by helping bring any equipment they ask to be brought to the performance area.

A final "visual sweep" will be needed to make sure we leave no trace. All volunteers must wear closed toed shoes and dress appropriately for the weather. This is a rain or shine event.
