Volunteer at the Bike Fair
June 19, 2007
The Multnomah County Bike Fair takes a cycling spoof on the traditional American county fair. Think bike-trailer pulls instead of tractor-trailer pulls. The fair is completely free but it runs on volunteer powers. Volunteer Coordinator VJ Beachamp reports that they still need your help. "Volunteers will be in the heart of the action, setting up the fair, greeting folks entering the midway, helping with t-shirt sales, beer garden, music stage, smoothie booth and more," Vicky explains. "We'll have sunscreen and some snacky bits for volunteers, and folks on the last shift will get pizza." To volunteer, contact vickijean [at] gmail.com.
But be forewarned! If you're looking for a mellow, family friendly bike parade event, this isn't quite it. Sure, there are decorated bikes, and sure there are thousands of bike enthusiasts, but you'll also witness the knock-down-drag-out antics of the Figure Eight Derby and Tall Bike Jousting competitions.
The Multnomah County Bike Fair is this Saturday from 2-7pm at Col. Summers Park in Portland, NE 20th and Belmont. Is it worth a trip to Portland just for the fair? Uh, I'd say ABSOLUTELY YES, unless you fall into the faint-of-heart sect.
