Holiday helper organizational meeting

  • Gillette Castle State Park 67 River Road East Haddam, CT, 06423 United States (map)

Saturday October 7 at 11 a.m. at Grand Central Station (the roofed area with picnic tables to the right side of the Castle). If it rains, we will be in the cider station (stone building behind the stage).

We will be reviewing the program schedule and all kinds of volunteer opportunities for holiday fun.  Make a contribution to your community and have a great time doing it!

  • Castle and visitor center decorators (make the interior look festive and holiday ready!)

  • Grounds decorators (join a fun crew to hang wreaths and garlands in a half-day session)

  • Train trail guides (give guided tours around the hiking trails)

  • Castle guides (do a shift inside the Castle, make sure that visitors don't disturb the decorations and take on the challenge of answering basic questions if you want to)

  • Cider Station attendants (we will be giving out FREE cider this year!)

Training is provided for all roles and most roles only require a commitment of a few hours.

We will have refreshments to entice you and we hope it will be a fun gathering for everyone.

RSVP at gillettecastlevolunteers@gmail.com if you can join us on October 7, or if you want to participate but aren't able to be there on 10/7.

Later Event: October 10
