Did you know it nearly 1,000 volunteer hours to staff Celebrate! West Hartford? This great community event relies on folks to step-up and give back. There are jobs for everyone--there are jobs for folks who like to greet people and answer questions; there are jobs for people who like to be near the stage and listen to the bands; there are even jobs for people who like to get up early in the morning!
