Volunteers Needed for Open Streets Corvallis
lindsey.almarode
On Sunday, June 28, from 11 am to 3 pm, a stretch
of city streets will be closed to motorized traffic between
Riverfront Park and the Skate Park in Downtown Corvallis (see route map) so
that people can use them for walking, rolling, dancing, playing, and
socializing. Activity hubs along the route will include local food and drink,
live music, giant-sized games, and more. Neighbors, community organizations,
and businesses will host interactive activities.
The success of Open
Streets depends on volunteers – people like you who offer to help for a
couple of hours to make the festival happen. In return, volunteers get a free
t-shirt, coffee and pastries, tamales, and a voucher for Go Giddy Pops. We
especially need people to serve as Intersection Superheroes to make
the event fun and safe by:
- Answering questions and handing out event maps
- Redirecting most cars
- Escorting (walking) local residents driving their cars to/from their homes
As an added perk, intersection superhero volunteers will get a free drink voucher for Common Fields.
Visit our volunteer page to sign up for a specific location and time.
Thank you in advance for your help!
