VOLUNTEER AT THE OREGON STATE FAIR
The Oregon State Fair is coming up, August 22 – September 2.
The Democratic Party of Oregon has hosted a booth at the Fair for over 75 years, longer than any other vendor or organization. Our booth is our largest public-facing event of the year, where we interact with tens of thousands of Oregonians over the course of eleven days and nights.
It takes a lot of volunteers to staff our booth every year, and our state party could use your help! The good news is that volunteering at the booth is fun, and you get a free day pass to the Fair and a Free Parking Pass when you sign up.
