Hello Honey Bee Festival Volunteers,
I hope this message finds you well and filled with excitement for the upcoming Festival! On behalf of the Rockwood Park Backyard Beekeepers, I want to extend a big thank you for your invaluable contribution and dedication to making this event a success. Our Planning Committee has been hard at work over several months but the Festival would not be possible without many helping hands, including yours.
This year our festival is bigger, with more vendors and exhibitors, increasing our pollinator educational offering. We have a new location, the Fairgrounds, thanks to Chesterfield County supporting our growth and the community’s interest. The duration of the Festival is 2 hours longer, until 4pm, allowing our guests more time to visit and enjoy.
As we approach the big day, I would like to remind everyone that setup will begin Friday. The Fairgrounds will be open at 8am for us to begin. If you are able to help out Friday, please come when you can. Sherry Giese, our co-lead organizing the plant giveaway, plans to be there the full day helping us to greet volunteers. Look for the lady with a bunch of volunteer t-shirts. Saturday morning, we’ll resume setup at 8am and have a lot of moving pieces with vendors and exhibitors arriving.
If you are not sure which committee you’ve been placed, or have not heard from your committee lead, please reach out. I’m happy to facilitate the connection to your committee lead(s).
We encourage you to invite friends, family, and neighbors to join us Saturday, June 22nd for a day filled with fun, music, learning, and celebration of our beloved honeybees and all pollinators.
Once again, thank you for volunteering. Your contribution and time makes a real difference. We are incredibly grateful to have such dedication within our community.
Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday for setup and Saturday for the Festival!
