The City of Santa Clarita is looking for teens and adults ages 15 years or older to volunteer at the 20^th Annual Cowboy Festival, taking place at Melody Ranch Motion Pictures Studio and other venues within the City from Thursday, April 18 through Sunday, April 21, 2013.

Those interested in volunteering are required to attend the annual Volunteer Roundup at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 3, at the Santa Clarita Activities Center, located at 20880 Centre Pointe Parkway.

The Volunteer Roundup is an orientation about the Cowboy Festival where events will be introduced and all questions will be answered.  Volunteers will gain an insider’s look into the Festival and be entered into raffles to win free cowboy memorabilia.  At the Volunteer Roundup participants will receive a volunteer shirt, have the chance to make changes to shift assignments and sign up for available positions including: ticket takers, volunteer check-in, safety patrol, ushering, food court, merchandise, and more.

This year, all volunteers are required to register through the City’s new online Rec1 software, which is a convenient and easy-to-use online registration service.  Interested participants can select the jobs and shifts desired from the comfort of their own home at Santa-Clarita.com/index.aspx?page=857
