There are two firm stipulations that a qualifying organization must agree to in order to be a beneficiary participant.
TWO FIRM STIPULATIONS:
1.) The Swamp Fox Chili Cook Off organizers will need a minimum of 2 volunteers to help with the event, either on a committee, or as a helper at the event, for the entire event. You may want to schedule volunteers on rotating shifts of two each. Event hours for volunteers will begin at 8:00am and end around 4:00pm. We will have a Volunteer Coordinator that all volunteers will report to.
2.) ALL unsold tickets MUST be returned to organizers by Thursday, February 23, 2012.
Any organization found in breach of these conditions will not be allowed to participate in next year's chili cook off.
Once this application is filled out, you will then be asked to sign an agreement, that will be in compliance with the above stipulations, when your tickets are delivered on Monday, February 6, 2012.
Event is produced and organized by Accent Signs and Promotions.
