Volunteers

Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Warrenton Quilt Days and Preservation Warrenton's Historic Homes Tour and Quilt Show. We couldn't do it without you! Contact us on-line or call us at 252-257-7117 or 252-257-3800 to let us know you would like to help. There are many opportunities for you to help before, during and after the show! Following are some of the needs we have for the 2016 show:

Quilt Show Headquarters: Provide assistance at Quilt Lizzy before the show beginning March 15th as quilts are received, sorted, labeled and prepared for display. You can also lend a hand on Sunday, April 17th as quilts are returned to Quilt Lizzy following the show to be folded, sorted and prepared for return to quilt exhibitors.

Quilt hanging and staging: Work with us several days prior to the show as well as show day as we stage and hang quilts for display in historic homes and around town.

Quilt Docents in Historic Homes: Take a shift in one of the homes on the historic homes tour monitoring the quilts for safety, showing visitors the quilts, answering basic questions and sharing information about the quilts using the exhibition label provided on the quilt. You will also direct visitors to the Viewer's Choice ballot boxes.

Lecture Assistant: Verify participant tickets and assist speaker/presenter as needed including setting up, displaying quilts, folding and packing quilts.

Hospitality Booth: Sell tickets, hand out programs, give directions and answer questions about the show. Direct visitors to events, food, restrooms, activities, etc.

Show floaters: Volunteers will be given a job assignment to fill openings due to cancellations, unfilled positions and other staffing needs.
