The Canterbury Folk Festival will see it's final run next month and organizers are putting the call out for more volunteers to go out with a bang at this year's event.
INGERSOLL - The Canterbury Folk Festival is having a volunteer information night.
They need more volunteers to help run the Festival happening in Ingersoll on July 11-14th. Artistic Director and Mayor of Ingersoll Ted Comiskey says they hope to see full house on Thursday night.
"We are putting the call out on Thursday night, just like we have done for the past 20 years is put the call out to anyone who is interested in volunteering to come out to Chucks and come out and meet our crew and meet our gang and find a section that you might be interested in volunteering in. It's always worked well for us, we have always had fantastic volunteers coming out for Canterbury and this one of the evenings which really draws a lot of people, because a lot of people want to volunteer but they don't how, or what they want to do."
Comiskey says it takes a lot of volunteers to make this event possible.
"It takes about 120 volunteers over the next two to three weeks, some people come out for an hour and others are there the entire time and we need all of them to put this festival on. This is the last Canterbury Folk Festival and we would love to see you out there and help us because it is the volunteers who made Canterbury what it is today, no one else, it's those hard working people who came out and had some fun and wanted to put on a great festival for Ingersoll and that's what we did."
This is the last year of the Folk Festival in Ingersoll, so they want to make it special. The Volunteer Info session is happening on Thursday night at Chucks Bar and Grill, downstairs starting at 7:00 pm. You can find more information about the Canterbury Folk Festival online here.
