Volunteers are needed to help with the 2013 Kitsap County Water Festival on April 16 at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.

The Water Festival, created in 1995, hosts up to 1,200 students from across the county each year. Students learn the importance of protecting precious water resources and practical ways to implement water quality measures at home.

Volunteers help with games and activities, guide student groups and help with set-up and break-down at the Festival. Volunteers are provided with lunch and receive a Kitsap Water Festival t-shirt to wear during the event and take home at the end of the day.
