Become a Volunteer at the Fair
For many people, the Fair and volunteering are the best way to combine community service and community. Whether you can work one day or all 10 days, your contribution of time and talent help support the mission of Champlain Valley Exposition and Fair to foster educational opportunities, spotlight agriculture, present great entertainment and encourage commerce.
If you would like to volunteer, you should contact the Superintendent in the department where you would like to work. They will go over the details of the jobs and time needed for their operation during the Fair.
If you would like to offer your services in a year-round capacity, please call 802-878-5545 for more assistance or email info@cvexpo.org
