Anyone can help! You do not need to be a member of FFSC to volunteer.
To be eligible for a FREE General Admission ticket to the Fungus Fair, you must pre-register as a volunteer, and work for at least one volunteer position (usually for a few hours, depending on the role).
If there is an area or task you particularly enjoy, it's a good idea to sign up early to nail it down now.
