Pullman calls for July 4 volunteers

Britnee Packwood, events coordinator for Pullman Chamber of Commerce, notes it won’t be long before Pullman’s Sunnyside Park will make room for thousands of area residents to celebrate the community’s annual Fourth of July picnic and fireworks.

“To get the barbecue, treats and activities ready this year, it will take volunteers, lots of them,” Packwood said.

Volunteers are needed to help before, during and after the event.

Positions are available for children’s activities, food and beverage sales and many other areas.

To volunteer for the event, contact the Chamber staff at (509) 334-3565, or visit the office at 415 N. Grand in Pullman.

“The Chamber’s organizing committee is working on the details, and now we need to put together the crew of volunteers that will really make the event work smoothly,” she said. “There are many jobs – from selling beverages, pies and barbecue sandwiches to making cotton candy – and every one, a lot of fun.”
