The big summer celebrations coming up in West Seattle wouldn’t happen without LOTS of help. In the case of the Alki Art Fair, it’s all-volunteer, ever since the budget cuts that removed official city help last year … and volunteer coordinator Susan Madrid says they need some more people to pitch in:

The Alki Art Fair is two and a half weeks away, July 28 and 29, and we need volunteers. Volunteers can work a couple of hours on each day or can commit to half-day shifts at the silent auction or information booth. For example, we need people to break down chairs on Saturday night after the music performances end at 9 pm and set them up on Sunday morning before the performances start again at 10 am. We also need a couple of people who love music to staff the musicians’ sales table and serve as announcers for the acts throughout each day. If you would like to join the Alki Art Fair volunteers or have any questions, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator at sjmadrid@comcast.net.
