The 17^th Annual, Ottawa Cisco Bluesfest (July 6-11 and July 13-18, 2010) is fast approaching!  Once again, OBS offers members this fabulous opportunity to volunteer at our bluesy-themed, fun-filled, onsite Promotional Tent! 

The OBS Promo Tent is typically situated within viewing distance of one of the Stages, usually amongst the Artisan's cluster (exact location to be determined).  Our popular site includes our own "back yard" for relaxing and friendly visits - it makes for a great meeting place for members and friends with "something" always going on!

The Promo Tent will be "staffed" throughout the entire Festival (2 volunteers for each weekend shift / 3 volunteers for each weeknight shift) with OBS Directors providing onsite support.  Each 3-hour commitment ensures your free pass that day to the Festival grounds to attend performance(s) of your choice. 

Volunteer duties include:

• signing up new members;
• processing membership renewals;
• sales of OBS promotional materials (t-shirts, jewelry, water bottles, etc);
• responding to general questions from visitors.

To help respond to questions, a Volunteer Information / Procedures Binder will be onsite with guidelines and answers to the most frequently asked questions. 

Contact us today to confirm your first choice for the following dates and times - first come, first served so give us a call soon!
