The annual Ballard SeafoodFest is this coming weekend (July 13, 14), and the organizers tell us they’re still looking for volunteers. They need people who are willing to work a 2-3 hour shift on either Saturday or Sunday of the event, and typical tasks include working in the information booth, selling raffle tickets, staffing donation stations, and setting up and tearing down.
The festivities get started on Saturday – the fun goes from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and from 11-7 on Sunday. They’ll have three different stages; the Ballard Commons Family Stage, Bergen Place Live, and the Ballard Ave. Main Stage.
