From the Chamber: Borrego Days 58 Planning

 

Last updated 8/23/2024 at 4:04pm



I hope everyone was able to somehow enjoy the summer, via escape, AC or just ignoring the heat. September is here and that means the Chamber reopened on September 3, and it’s now time to really focus on Borrego Days and all of the fun associated with it. Start planning for your vendor booths as the deadline to reserve a space is September 30. If you plan on being in the parade, get your applications over to Konki Jarvis, Festival sponsorships are much needed and tax deductible, and volunteers are the key to a successful event.

Applications for everything are at the Chamber, vendor and sponsorship applications are also online at borregodays.com. While at the Festival website checkout the entertainment, we have a great mix from local to an all ladies band – and our country band is back! I’m happy to email or mail you whatever you need.

Here is the volunteer info:

The parade committee is in need of volunteers for all positions including lineup, behind the scenes, setup and more. The parade is Saturday Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. To help make the parade a success, contact Konki Jarvis at 714-348-5748 or konki.jarvis@gmail.com.

Send all parade entry applications to Konki as well at 536 E. El Mirador Drive, Fullerton, CA 92835 or drop off at the Chamber, we’ll make sure she gets them. Entry into the parade is FREE!

Festival volunteer coordinator is Joy McBride, 386-314-1247 (Joy prefers texts) there are positions open from beer garden to chamber booth, and grounds setup. If you can only volunteer for just two hours, we’ll take it!

You can always call the Chamber and leave your name, contact info and where you’d like to volunteer and we’ll make sure it gets to the right person.

Let’s kickoff the season with an exciting and fun Borrego Days 58!

To sign up for the free Chamber Weekly eblast, send an email to visitborrego@gmail.com with the word eblast in the subject line, we’ll do the rest.
