Event Description
We’re making a big push over the next three months to reopen the National Balloon Museum in time for The Classic on July 31—and we could use your help!
We have four weekday volunteer days and two weekend volunteer days each month through June, with plenty of hands-on projects to tackle. Tasks may include hanging prints, setting up exhibits and displays, moving artifacts into place, unloading a storage pod, carrying items to basement storage, and more. A schedule of tasks will be shared in advance so you know what to expect.
If you’re willing to lend a hand, please review the available dates and sign up using the button below. Every bit of help gets us closer to reopening our doors!
Thank you for supporting the museum and helping bring it back to life!
