Greetings Fireflies!  

 

Firefly is on the horizon and there is a lot to do to prepare the site for this year.  In addition to the usual Work Weekend tasks, we are going to be clearing more space for camping and building a stage.  Since Firefly happens because of volunteers, we are looking for some volunteers to participate in several Work Weekends prior to the event.  Work Weekends are also when placement for Theme Camps and Art Installations takes place.  Please read the Work Weekend descriptions carefully and be prepared to work!  Signup for the Work Weekends will take place closer to the Work Weekend dates and an announcement will be sent to the Fireflyblink list, the Announcement List and will be put on the Firefly Arts Collective web site and Facebook page.  You MUST be signed up ahead of time to attend a Work Weekend.  Arrival for Work Weekends starts after 6pm on the Friday of the weekend.  More information will be sent out in the signup announcement.

 

Some of this year’s projects and tasks include:  determining locations for various event structures, preliminary site mapping, clearing and marking trails, digging holes, cutting and gathering firewood, road & trail trenching, parking lot preparation, clearing space for additional camping, building a permanent stage structure, and gathering sticks for creation of the Bug.
