We are looking for community minded people who are interested in ensuring that their family, friends and neighbors have a great time at the Portage Potato Festival.
Think about it as a great way to introduce that young person in your life to volunteering as well. It’s a great family oriented event to do so at. So bring out that child, grandchild, niece/nephew that you love spending time with. You both will feel such a great sense of pride in helping out your community!
