Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Visit the Saturday farmers market, 10 am to 2 pm, to meet the volunteers. To volunteer, use the contact form on the group's volunteer page..
You can just show up.
What to expect
The Saturday market runs 10 am to 2 pm, rain or shine, with vendors and some events such as live music or a children's story hour. Visitors can browse and listen. The site does not list parking, admission or a plan for first-time volunteers.
Tips for your first visit
- Dress for the weather, since the market runs rain or shine.
- Check the events page first, since music, story time and food trucks show up on only some Saturdays.
- Bring cash or a card, since at least one food truck on the listings takes both.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: The Saturday market is open to visitors, and volunteers can reach the group through a public contact form. The page does not describe what a first volunteer day looks like..
