Signups Are Open for Beer/Wine Sales at Arts & Crafts Festival

The Crozet Arts & Crafts Fair is returning in May! Crozet Park is an important supporter of the Crozet Trails Crew, offering us space and services for many years. In return, the Crew pitches in twice a year to man the beer/wine sales. It’s a fun way to be part of the excitement, talk to people, and get to know some of the Trails Crew folks a bit better.

The tasks include checking IDs, taking orders for beer and wine and collecting payment, and pouring. The beer/wine sales are outside under a canopy, and all the required measures for pandemic safety will be followed.
