Volunteers are important to any major event, including the Strathmore Stampede. The entire event is dependent on the contributions of the folks in town who donate their time every year to help the Strathmore Stampede run smoothly.
“We can always use more volunteers and we’ll never turn away help. It takes a lot of people and a lot of commitment to make the stampede happen. We’re always happy to accept anyone and everyone who’s willing to help out,” said Jessica Hall, in charge of Office Administration and Finance for the Strathmore Stampede.
Now, with the online application form, it’s easier than ever to help out at the Strathmore Stampede. Just go to strathmorerodeo.com and fill out the application form.
There are so many different jobs that need to be done, especially with a large event like the Strathmore Stampede that has several different aspects that go into making it successful, there’s something for everyone.
“We have a variety of opportunities for people to help us in a variety of different ways. We have options to help out in our 50/50 booth or admissions or partaking in special events that happen throughout the grounds working with a lot of our corporate partners as well as the rodeo side of things and anything and everything in between,” said Hall.
Volunteers are the true core of the success of the Strathmore Stampede.
“Without volunteers this event would not take place,” said Hall.
And it’s not just the volunteers who work during the four days of the Strathmore Stampede
“We could not do what we do without the commitment we have from our committee heads, our committee heads help us all year round to organize and put together the show,” said Hall.
The work of all the volunteers at the Strathmore Stampede contributes to the overall success of the weekend.
“Without our volunteers we would not have a Stampede, there isn’t a value or a price I could put on our volunteers because they are irreplaceable,” said Hall. “This event would not happen without the support of the community and our volunteers.”
