VOLUNTEERS

We can always use volunteers at our SC State Fair to work our booth. We are there ALL day, 9 to 9. We work in 2 hour shifts. We mostly demo tatting, sharing our love for the art. We also share the little pieces of tatting that have been so graciously donated. And we may even do a little teaching of tatting between 1 and 3. To volunteer, please write Pam and Donna at statefair@palmettotatters.org.
