BASH ON WABASH CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS, VENDORS and TALENT
Do you have an interest in helping out in your community? Or, a local business you'd like to promote? How about a family friendly talent you want to share? Then we want you! GSLA's Bash on Wabash is Saturday, August 23rd and Sunday, August 24th this year. We're looking for vendors, performers and volunteers to help with this event. Our family fun area will have programming from noon to 6pm, and we'd love to focus on local talent--storytelling, music, sports, dance, and crafts are just the thing. This is also a great time for local businesses to highlight their products and services, even if you're not brick and mortar, with a booth in our main area. And, we need volunteers to help at the gates, in our tent and the family fun area. Come out, show your stuff, meet your neighbors and have some fun. Email info@greatersouthloop.org to sign up or get more information.
