Volunteers are needed to check and sell admission buttons and to offer errant fisherpoet fans directions at the festival venues and fisherpoet bookstore. A volunteer shift is three hours. At each venue, except the bookstore, volunteers can listen to the festival readers or music while working. In exchange for helping this 20-year-old festival keep afloat, organiz- ers give all volunteers a free FPG admission button, good all weekend at all venues. If you’re willing to help, venue shifts on Friday and Saturday evenings are 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. Bookstore shifts are 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., noon to 3 p.m., 2:30 to 5:30 p.m., 5 to 8 p.m. and 7:30 to 10 p.m. both days of the festival. The Gathering is using SignUp.com to organize the volunteer shifts. Sign up for a slot at http://signup.com/ go/ZTTBGx Organizers need two volunteers at each venue, so sign up with a friend, or simply pair up with someone where there’s an opening.
