Looking for a summer volunteer opportunity?
"As our summer operating schedule gets closer and closer we would like to invite the public to help us in the wonderful opportunity we have at the Heritage Train and Carousel Company," says Bill White, promotions and publicity spokesman.
Tomorrow Saturday, May 4, from 1:30 until 4 p.m. at the Carousel and Train station a volunteer information session for anyone who would like to be part of the fun of this summer.
"We would particularly encourage high school students to participate," says White. "We are able to sign your 40 hour volunteer hour certificates."
The group will also be waking up the horses on Saturday.
Polishing brass, polishing the saddles and jewels and general mucking out of the stalls will all be part of the day's activities. And waking the horses and woodland creatures from their long winter's hibernation.
