Dozens of dedicated volunteers are needed to help make this Meet in the Street the best ever, Corey Hutcherson with the Wake Forest Chamber of Commerce said this week.
He is asking that anyone who can help on Saturday, May 3, for a two-hour shift send a response to Sherry Forbes at wfmeetinthestreet@gmail.com to sign up. A volunteer meeting will be held Wednesday, April 30 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at The Factory YMCA.
Meet in the Street is a daylong fun-filled event that expected to draw at least 15,000 people on Saturday, May 3, to shop, enjoy the music, the food and the entertainment.
It is larger this year, stretching along three downtown streets, and that means more people are needed to man different posts and keep the fun going all day long.
On May 3, visitors and town residents will find food trucks, the Carolina Hurricanes Storm Squad with Stormy, a children’s carnival, a beer garden, a bicycle safety course, face painting, a fire truck, an activity truck where you can make your own tie dye and a performance plaza.
The entire downtown area will be blocked off with over 100 artists and artisans showing their wares as well as the downtown merchants. In the performance plaza there will be Cirque De Vol, martial arts, cheerleading, demonstrations and other local performances. There will be live music on the main stage near the beer garden by East Coast Rhythm & Blues Band, David Dixon Acoustic, The Will McBride Group and additional performances by Flow Circus in the performance area.
