Needs From: MC Serves!

Party in the Park is a beloved Olney Days tradition that brings the entire community together to celebrate the town. This year there will be a Sports Center - a 10 ft by 20 ft inflatable that has 6 different activities:  Axe throwing, baseball, soccer, football, archery, and basketball.  

This volunteer opportunity is to assist with collecting tickets and overseeing the play at the Sports Center.  Only 10-12 people will be at the Sports Center at any one time.  Volunteer must be able to stand/walk around and be comfortable instructing and correcting others. Volunteer will help people to understand how to play, watch the equipment (balls, "axes", bows & "arrows"), and ensure everyone is playing safely. 

There are two shifts and you can sign up for both even though they overlap.  

Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian and must be completed outside of school hours in a public space under direct supervision of the nonprofit organization. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns.

Inflatables Set-Up & Take-Down Volunteer

Olney Days – Party in the Park

     Party in the Park is a beloved Olney Days tradition that brings the entire community together to celebrate the town. This year, eight large inflatables will transform the ball field at Olney Manor Park into a hub of fun — and we need strong, dependable volunteers to help make it happen. Volunteers will assist with setting up and taking down the inflatables under the direction of professional staff from the inflatable company.

     Responsibilities include:

     Because take-down is much easier when you understand how everything was assembled, volunteers are strongly encouraged to sign up for both shifts if possible (but not required). After confirmation of your sign up, Volunteers will communicate and report to Carter Darrington, owner of Empire Inflatables that is providing the equipment.

     Please note: Inflatables are weather-dependent. If rain causes the field to close, this volunteer opportunity will be canceled. In that case, volunteers will be notified by email by 9:00 am on May 2.

     Thank you for helping bring the fun to Olney!
