• Shoppers will also receive $10 market money
• Along with helping guide shoppers around the farmers markets, we are also in need of drivers to take shoppers home afterwards.
• Drivers must have a valid license, insurance, and sign a waiver.
• We had several drivers at our last event and both our volunteers and shoppers had a lot of fun!
