Volunteer at the Fat Tire Fest!

As a sponsor of the BH Fat Tire Festival, Friends of Rapid City Parks is looking for volunteers to staff a table and to help out in general with the event.

According to Festival organizers, volunteers are the heart and the soul of this event “and receive perks for helping us pull this anarchy together, all while having one hell of a good time.”  All helpers will get an event t-shirt, free entry into social events and the film festival, and a chance to meet everyone who helps make it happen.

Contact Jerry at info@bhfattirefestival.com to get details and spend a day out in the parks and on the trails.
