  • Welcome and greet State Fair guests
  • Help serve and prepare coffee drinks
  • Keep the booth clean, organized, and welcoming
  • Answer basic questions and help create a positive experience for customers

The Oliver Gospel Roastery booth is located inside the Moore Building near the Rocket.

Prior to your shift, you will receive an email with information about where to park, how to enter the fairgrounds/building, and other arrival details.

We understand that things come up. If you’re unable to attend your scheduled shift, please let us know as soon as possible so we can make adjustments to our volunteer schedule.
