		<description><![CDATA[Volunteers needed for Nevada County booth at 2013 California State Fair The Nevada County Tourism Committee is again planning for a Nevada County display at the 2013 California State Fair &#8211; and we are inviting you to be a part of this! As one of the most popular areas during the State Fair, participation offers Nevada County the opportunity to introduce our County, and all its wonderful attractions to thousands of potential visitors. Obviously this effort requires a tremendous amount of time and commitment, but it can be fun too! Each day we need 5 &#8211; 6 volunteers to &#8220;man&#8221; the Nevada County booth &#8211; to hand out the designated promotional materials, make sure our display stays clean and attractive, and to just visit with potential visitors!  The fair is 16 days, and with 4 shifts per day, we have plenty of times and dates to satisfy anyone’s schedule. Dates of the State Fair are July 12 through July 28, hours needed for booth staffing are 10 am &#8211; 6 pm each day. Every volunteer receives a free pass to the State Fair for the day. We will need information and commitments from all volunteers no later than June 4 so we can get the information to the State Fair folks. To Volunteer contact  Janet Alessandra, ERC Administrative Assistant.]]></description>
