We have all kinds of openings available for all age groups and, also, for families, church groups, singles groups, corporate groups, etc.

All volunteer benefits are contingent on a successful background screening as well as successful progress of volunteer activities.

We will have an orientation session at the Midland Horseshoe about a month before the Fair. We will also have Golf Cart Training (required by our Insurance) at the same time for individuals who will be expected to use the golf carts.

 

Volunteer Dinner

In keeping with tradition, the MCF Board of Directors invites all volunteers to the annual appreciation dinner, which will be held sometime after the Fair at a time and place to be announced.

 

Why Volunteer?

We have a lot of fun! MCF is a large family and we welcome everyone to become part of our family.

For each 4 hour shift you volunteer you get free admission to the Fair for that day. Two or more 4 hour shifts get you Free Admission into the Fair on all 4 days and you will receive a free MCF Volunteer T Shirt.

Most of our volunteers return year after year, often to work in the same area, but sometimes they like to try something new. Whatever your preference, you are a welcome member of one of the hardest working families in west Texas.
