Volunteer for the Bluemont Fair
The Fair runs entirely on volunteer help!
Volunteering at the Fair is a wonderful way to connect with neighbors, give back to the community, and—for high school students living in Bluemont—become eligible for a Bluemont scholarship. Shifts range from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the role and location. All volunteers receive free entry to the Fair and a discount on the popular Bluemont Fair t-shirts.
Please reach out to the Fair Chair listed below for information about the area where you’d like to volunteer. If you’re open to helping wherever you’re needed, contact the Fair Chair at chair[@]bluemontfair.org. Be sure to include your available times and any restrictions, and we’ll help match you with a spot that works for your schedule!
Admissions Gate: We’re looking for volunteers to help greet Fair attendees, collect entry fees, hand out wristbands, and distribute schedules. These shifts are perfect for families or groups who want to work together. If you’re interested in helping, please contact John Constant at john[@]atokaproperties.com.
Art Show & Sale: We’re looking for volunteers to help with the Art Show at the Fair!
- Thursday evening before the Fair: Assist with receiving and hanging artwork
- During the Fair: Help collect payments from customers purchasing art
- Sunday after the Fair: Help take down and pack up the artwork
Sign up for a shift today and be part of this creative community effort! For questions, contact Kendra Rubinfeld at artshow[@]bluemontfair.org.

Caboose Minder: We’re looking for a volunteer to sit in the caboose and welcome visitors who wish to explore it. An interest in the history of trains in our area is a plus, but not required. If you’re interested, please contact Jen Stone at jenclark[@]stonefrog.com.
Children’s Fair: We are looking for teenagers and adults who enjoy working with younger children, setting up games, applying temporary tattoos, and helping at craft tables. Sign up to volunteer today and help make the Children’s Fair a fun and memorable event for the young kids! For questions, contact Sheri Conrad at sheri.conrad[@]loudoun.gov.
E.E. Lake Store: We’re looking for friendly volunteers to help run the cash registers and sell t-shirts and baked goods at the E.E. Lake Store. Sign up for a shift and be part of the fun! Contact Lauren Stevens at bakesale[@]bluemontfair.org for questions.
Gardener’s Shed: In the week leading up to the Fair, we need volunteers to help tidy the Shed in preparation for its annual role as a retail spot for gardening enthusiasts. During the weekend, we also need help operating the cash register. If you’re interested, please contact Anna Billman at small.anna[@]gmail.com.
Kubota Driver: We’re seeking several responsible adults who are familiar with the village to drive a provided utility vehicle during the Fair. Duties include transporting patrons—usually between the parking area and the Fair—and running occasional errands as needed. If you’re interested, please contact Jen Stone at jenclark[@]stonefrog.com.
Plaster Museum of Bluemont’s Heritage: We are seeking volunteers to monitor the displays and answer questions about Bluemont in the E.E. Lake Store. We also need help on select weekends throughout the year. If you’re interested, please contact Peter Weeks at bluemontvillage[@]aol.com.
Poster Distribution: We’re always looking for volunteers to help distribute Fair posters far and wide! If you’re willing to put up posters in nearby villages—or even in areas like Reston or Winchester—we’d love your help. Please contact Cynthia Morris at chair[@]bluemontfair.org.
Snickersville Academy: We’re looking for volunteers to welcome visitors to this quiet, shady spot, hand out giveaways, and encourage children to create crafts with the materials provided. If you’re interested, please sign up today or contact Emily Weitz at emilyrweitz[@]gmail.com.
Table/Chair Set-Up and Tear-Down, Trash Pick-up: This important task requires several volunteers—individuals or families—to be available on Saturday morning at 8:30 AM to set up tables and chairs, and/or Sunday evening at 5 PM to help collapse chairs and pick up trash throughout the village. If you’re able to help, please contact Jen Stone at jenclark[@]stonefrog.com.
