Volunteers:
\n<\/strong>Your help makes the festival a success. If it were not for the hard work of the 600-plus volunteers, the festival would not be possible! The festival staff appreciates all who have come out in the past and hope that you will return this year. The festival is always looking for volunteers to help with setup, manning beverage booths, manning i.d.\/ticket booths and cleanup. If you are interested in being a part of the Rivers & Spires team, please apply online at the Rivers & Spires site and make sure to mark what days you are available. There is no deadline to apply to volunteer.<\/p>\n

Vendors and Sponsors:
\n<\/strong>One of the elements that makes Rivers & Spires continue to grow each year is all the vendors that come out and set up booths throughout the festival. From art and collectables to food, businesses and non-profits, people are running all over downtown from zone to zone checking out each booth. Your business needs to be a part of the action! Go to www.riversandspires.com<\/a> to see a full description of each application and see which best suits your business. Remember information is being updated daily, so it\u2019s best to check back often. There is still room available, but hurry as booth space is limited and filling up fast. Can\u2019t wait to see you on the streets!<\/p>\n
