With schedules coordinated by the UMN Agricultural Education, Communication & Marketing Club, the All-You-Can-Drink Milk Stand at the MN State Fair is once again looking for volunteers!
Each shift for the Milk Stand is 4 hours in length and requires standing. In order to be eligible, volunteers must be 12 years of age or older and should be able to work independently.
Working the Milk Stand is a great opportunity to interact with fairgoers and share facts and stories about the dairy industry and agriculture as a whole. Volunteers receive free fair admission, a free shirt and hat, a free dairy treat from the Dairy Goodness Bar, and, of course, all you can drink milk!
