Beaver friends at Patch and the Gazette this week have very kindly posted a request for helpers at this year’s festival, with heartwarming results already. Gary Bogue and the Record promise to follow, but. I thought I’d ask directly too, since there are some readers who are out of town but still close enough to give a hand. I know it seems like its a million years away, and that you’re all busy with graduation,  finalizing vacation plans and family visits, but experience has taught me that the days between June 8th and the beaver festival whiz by faster than the speed of light – meaning that we’re actually younger once the festival is successfully completed and aged the nearer we approach. Worth A Dam needs help with the event, layout, activities, displays, projects, and take-down. As usual, we (and Blanche Dubois) have always depended on the kindness of strangers – well, that and the consistency of friends.

Beaver Helpers Wanted

August 6 is the date of Beaver Festival IV, and Worth A Dam is looking for a hand. Volunteers are needed to help with activities, displays, set-up equipment and generally make this year’s festival the best ever. Whether you’re a strong silent type, a retiree that likes to paint or a teen that’s handy at making jewelry, we have a job for you! At this year’s State of the Beaver Conference in Oregon we learned that beaver experts from at least three states will be attending this year’s festival to see about implementing one of their very own. Come have a dam good time, help your beavers and let’s show them how it’s done!

If you’re interested in helping out, drop us a note and we’ll make sure you know how much your help is appreciated! Here’s some motivation in case you need a good nudge…
