The Union County Heritage Festival is seeking volunteers to serve on the Planning Committee for the September 17, 2022 event. This is a community driven festival strengthened by the input and ideas of members involved in various arenas within the community. The committee welcomes volunteers from all sectors of the community; no previous experience needed. Members get a behind the scenes look at planning and executing the event, the opportunity to develop new skills and knowledge, and the chance to give something back and make a positive difference to the community.
Participation in the planning committee is a fun and rewarding experience providing members a range of opportunities in which to use their own skills and creativity. Committee members provide input and work on various components of the event including vendors, marketing, entertainment, sponsors, volunteers, contests, decorations, and the Wild Turkey 5K. Planning meetings are held on the second Friday of each month between 10:00am and 12:00pm via Zoom or at the Union County Agricultural Center. The first meeting of 2022 is scheduled for Friday, January 14 via Zoom. Individuals with questions and interested in joining the planning committee are asked to contact Tina Sagartz, cgsagartz@carolina.rr.com to be added to the Zoom meeting invitation.
