Thanks, Pardnuh!
Dang, we love our
volunteers!!
The next meetings of volunteers is Tuesday, August 12 and 26, 2008 at Bill Miller's on
Highway 87 at 1604. Sorry, we can't feed ya, but Bill will, for a few
bucks.
Anyone interested in helping is
mighty welcome!
How to volunteer:
1. Say, "I wanna help!"
2. You're hired.
3. Show up.
4. Okay, we do hafta ask ya to sign a form, so click
here and like magic,
it appears, faster than a frog's tongue in a dragonfly swarm. Then, git it
back to us before August 16, 2008 and you git a free HammerFest t-shirt.
Whut we need volunteers fer:
1. Registration, the
day of the event
a. Sound easy? It is -- but ya gotta be there at
5:00am so go feed yur rooster now.
b. Only friendly folks can be one. If yur an old
grouch, go volunteer somewhurs else.
 2.
Parking
a. We got a parking boss that looks like Hoss
Cartwright (ever seen Bonanza?), and he's just as onery, so sign up to
help and everybody'll be real happy.
b. pay attention.
3. Route dudes
a. We gotta have folks to point out directions to our
great riders; sorta like the scarecrow in Wizard of Oz....now there's a nice
dude.
b. Route dudes are really important so they're shur to
get a cool t-shirt from us (but no hay 'cuz we're in a drought).
4. Waterin' Hole folks
a. The riders rest a spell at the rest stops (we call 'em
waterin' holes) and it's just darn nice to have somebody to hold their
bike for a minute while they visit the outhouse, or git something to wet their
whistle.
b. Waterin' hole folks gotta be real nice and cheerful
to the riders. They're our real good friends and we want 'em to come back
for a visit every year. But, this is no problem cuz they're so darn nice!
5. Stuffers
a. We git a registration packet ready for all the fine
riders who pre-register. All them packets gotta be stuffed with goodies
and it takes time.
b. We mostly git to do this in air-conditioning and
sumtimes we git lemonade fer free, but yur fingers get purdy tired., sorta like
ropin' calves.
6. Sign Putter Uppers
a. Signs sayin' "turn here" or "only two more
miles" and funny stuff like that help our riders to keep pedaling. We put
up those signs and just about die laughin' at 'em. (Thanks for them funny
signs, Walter at NuStar!)
b. We need folks to put up these signs the morning of
the ride.
7.
Greeters and Finish line Cheerleaders
a. We wanna give these great riders a big whoop and
hollar when they come rollin' back into town!
b. Gen-u-ine enthusiasm required.
8. Real smart folks
a. somebudy with book-learnin' better hep us with
electricity and cords and stuff or somebody's gonna fry.
b. somebudy with a brain can hep us figger out the
sound system, or we hafta ring a cow bell. (Hey, that's not a bad idea!)
9. Real good go-fers
a. Ev'ry good rodeo and bike ride needs 'em.
They're real important!
All registered volunteers git a t-shirt. That's whut y'all really want,
isn't it? Admit it.
Register Now!
