Volunteers are often the first contact the public makes at the Indian Market.
For this reason alone, we appreciate the warm greeting and assistance that 200+ volunteers provide during this major cultural event. Many of our volunteers return year after year to see old friends and make new ones. If you would like to be a part of our big circle, complete the Volunteer Form and plan to be with us at the 35th annual Indian Market on December 10-11, 2011.
313 days left until the Indian Market!
