Amqui Station Farmers Market - Set Up and Info Booth Assistance

The Amqui Station Farmers Market is held every Sunday from 10AM-1PM from April 19th through October 25th. Our mission is to support local farmers, artisans, and craftspeople, and to encourage the public to buy from local small businesses to help foster a sense of community.
The assistance of multiple volunteers are vital for support of each market day and help is needed in many areas including:
8AM – 10:30AM: Market Set-Up (2-3 Volunteers)
Help us get everything ready! You'll assist with setting up light tables and chairs, blowing off the porch, placing table cloths, prepping the kids' area (bubbles, flags, sidewalk chalk—yes, it’s as fun as it sounds), setting out water dishes for the dogs, and helping setup for the musicians.
Please visit our vendors when you are done volunteering. They would love to see you! Please take a tour of the museum during your shift!
Once everything is set up, hang out until 10:30 at the info booth in case people have questions!
This shift is great for early birds or folks who prefer to avoid the heat and crowds!

It has been moved twice and now the building serves as a non-profit-third space that hosts community events and has a small local history museum.
Today, the station has been restored for a museum and educational cen
