Please join us! We are looking for volunteers to join us at the American Craft Fest at the Union Depot in St. Paul, on Saturday and Sunday, June 13th and 14th.

This is a free, fun event that CAFAC has participated in for a few years. It features dozens of craftspeople from around the region and lots of hands-on activities! This year, our space will be inside the Union Depot.

We need:

2 instructors to demonstrate a craft. Unfortunately, no open flame allowed in Union Depot. If you choose this option, please email Jhyle (Jhyle.Rinker@cafac.org) to discuss your demo and the tools/supplies you'll need.
2 people to oversee a Make & Take activity, recycled jewelry making. We'll provide all the necessary supplies and instructions for participants.
4 table volunteers, to chat with visitors about CAFAC and the things we do.
4 floater volunteers, to assist as needed.

To sign up, choose the ticket for the date/time and type of role you'd like to do.

As the event gets closer, we'll send details about directions to and parking around the Union Depot.
