Event Description:

This is a harvest festival on the banks of the Guadalupe River, at the Discovery Meadow. The purpose of the event is to promote awareness and use of the park and to highlight the unique river environment. This is a wonderful family event, incorporating music, entertainment, food, and a wide variety of activities for children.

What we'll be doing:

One Brick volunteers will be tasked with hosting tables during the event for mini-carnival games, food & beverages, and raffle ticket distribution. There will be many kids visiting the event so be sure to have a lot of enthusiasm!

What you should know:

We recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Dress in layers and consider bringing sunscreen and hat as this is an outdoor event. Bring a fanny pack for valuables to keep with you. Snacks will be provided (granola bars). In order to help the environment, bring a refillable bottle for water. There will be large water containers at the Volunteer Sign Up Booth, so you can refill your bottles.

Guadalupe River Park Conservancy:

The Guadalupe River Park Conservancy was formed in 1995 through the merger of two existing non-profit corporations: Friends of the Guadalupe River Park and the Guadalupe Gardens Corporation. The mission of the organization is to provide community leadership for the development and active use of the park through education, advocacy and stewardship. In addition to working with numerous governmental agencies and providing a citizen perspective on development issues, the Friends promote awareness and community participation by providing educational and outreach programs and volunteer opportunities.
