Grand Prix Fest in the Glen seeks volunteers

Published: 07/28/2011 @ 12:00 am

Now in its 19th year, the Grand Prix Festival of Watkins Glen presented by Chemung Canal Trust Company, continues its celebration of motor racing history in Watkins Glen. Last year, an estimated 20,000 spectators helped celebrate. This year is expected to be even bigger with the featured marque, Datsun/Nissan. You can join the celebration and be a part of this community event as an “insider”, by joining the festival’s volunteer corps for the September 9, 2011, event. Volunteer registration is required by August 5, 2011.It takes hundreds of volunteers to make the Grand Prix Festival happen – from rallye event registrations, to traffic and parking, to sales, hospitality, and more. Volunteers are welcome to help just a couple of hours, or all day, and can pick their area of interest.
