Volunteering at Fall Fest is Simply Grand!

This event takes thousands and thousands of hours to put together and run, and we couldn’t do it without amazing volunteers stepping up (because as much as we would like to, we can’t be in 10 places at once). Our volunteers help with everything from cache placement and adventure lab creation, to swag package assembly, to helping us run activities on site to make sure you have the best time possible. Our volunteers are the true heroes of this event and we thank everyone who steps up to help us make the event a success. 

If you would like to help us during the event, we’d love to have you. Some of the things we will require help with include: running activities such as In the 5 Hole Hockey Challenge and the Kid’s Club, manning the registration table and event store, grounds maintenance (refilling drinking water stations, restocking toilet paper and paper town in the washrooms, and emptying garbage cans), handing out instant winner prizes at the prize table, setting up activities on Sept 24th, tearing down activities on Sept 28th, and handing out prizes during the closing ceremonies. 

If you are local to the Brant County area, there are tons of opportunities to help us before we even get to Event HQ. Starting in May, Pasha88’s garage will turn into our event warehouse, and all of the prize packages and swag packages will be assembled, cache containers will be camouflaged and event caches will be hidden (not in Pasha88's garage, but in the area). If you’re local and want to help out ahead of time, we can discuss different options that work with your schedule. Our cache placement team for the event will be busy beavers as we plan to place caches around Brantford and Brant County prior to the event. 

If you’d rather become an Event Mountie and take on ownership of an aspect of the event, we would love to speak to you! Our Event Mounties get some pretty sweet swag to take home with them, including exclusive shirts, trackables and pathtags you can ONLY get by stepping up to become an Event Mountie. If you have an idea for something you would like to see at the event, please let us know - we will probably run with it and let you do your thing. If there is something already on the schedule (such as Pathtag Dice Game, the Silent Auction, CITO, Trackable Table, Kid’s Club or Pathtag Stringers) that you would like to take over, we will probably let you (unless someone else has already stepped up to run that activity). You do NOT need to live locally to become an Event Mountie, as long as you will be at the event during the activity you want to run. We do have a small budget for most activities, so can get what you need to run your activity without you spending money out of pocket. It's a lot of responsibility becoming an Event Mountie, but we think it's worth it if you are passionate about something and want to see it become a reality at a large-scale event. 

All of our volunteers and Event Mounties will take home extra swag (yup, more free stuff!) just for helping out. Your volunteer swag package will vary depending on how much you help out, how many shifts you sign up for, and whether you’re an Event Mountie or not, but may include things like custom t-shirts, trackable geocoins, trackable tags, Pathtags, travel mugs, cache containers, vinyl stickers, finally understanding some of the inside jokes that are scattered throughout this website, logo’d mini bluetooth speakers, toques, and whatever else we can find to throw into your goodie bag. 

Wow, you made it this far, AND you're either looking at the source code, or you knew enough to highlight the page and search for hidden text when the spacing was all messed up. You found another Easter Egg - the word you're looking for is "20 Clicks". 

If you’re interested in signing up to be a volunteer or Event Mountie, please fill out THIS GOOGLE FORM so we can add you to our volunteer list. This is NOT an actual sign up form… this just tells us that a) you want to help us and b) where you might want to help or what you are willing to do. You are NOT locked into any days or times with this form, it is simply so we have your contact info, and can send you the correct link to the actual sign up form in early September once the schedule is finalized and we know exactly what we are doing. Information gathered with this form will ONLY be used to contact you about volunteering for the event and will never be sold or otherwise accessed by anyone other than your event executive committee. 

Thank you in advance for everything that YOU do for the event. We really couldn’t do it without you.
