Festival of Nations is back! Now under a new name, International Festival of Minnesota https://www.ifestmn.org

This is a great volunteering opportunity, sign up if you’re interested here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0448ADAC2BA0F58-62665824-international #/

The Festival will take place April 10th and 11th at the St. Paul RiverCentre. This has been the all-time favorite event of many Sokol members, and it was sorely missed during its 5-year hiatus. The cafe booth needs lots of volunteers! Sign up with your kids (for fun and volunteer hours toward Sokol grants) and friends. Folk dress is encouraged, so if anyone has a kroj to wear, that’d be perfect. We will have some that people can use if they contact us. Back workers can wear aprons and hats we provide. Volunteers get a free entrance ticket and the shifts are short so you can also enjoy hours at the festival.

On the signup link page 2 (click Save and Continue button on the bottom of page 1) there is a mandatory Comments box. Write:

· If you need a ticket

· If you will be wearing your folk costume

· An address where we should send your ticket.

· If you can work the credit card Square machine

With questions, use the Contacts box on page 1, or contact [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]).

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!
