Volunteer Responsibilities:
- Report Parking Violations/Illegally Parked Vehicles: Help monitor our parking areas and report any violations.

- Report Criminal Activity: If you feel comfortable, report any suspicious or criminal activities you may see. However, please note that there is no need to confront anyone or put yourself at risk.
Incentive:
All volunteers will receive free tickets to the State Fair in exchange for their service.
