Volunteer Guide
Winter Faire
Winter Faire is a fun and festive event for the children at Cedarwood and our greater Portland community. Volunteers come together the Friday evening before the event and transform our campus into a wintry, whimsical, wonderland.
During the event, children and guests are invited to:
- Listen to stories told by King and Queen Winter.
- Visit the beautiful fairies in the Crystal Cookie Cave.
- Find a lucky stone near the Wishing Stone Wizard.
- Enjoy the sprinkling of magic dust by our sparkly Faire Fairy.
- Pick the pockets of a peddler for a treasure.
- Make beeswax candles.
- Work with wool, felt and hard crafts.
- Pick up a screen-printed shirt or bag.
- Grab a nibble or enjoy lunch at the faire bakery and café.
- Shop at the marketplace featuring local makers and artisans.
Winter Faire is Cedarwood’s most significant volunteer and outreach event of the year. Each class hosts an activity, prepares foods for the event, and helps with decorations, setup and cleanup. Preparations begin in October. The majority of volunteers’ efforts take place the weekend of the faire.
Volunteers can also support the event through:
- Behind-the-scene activities including the marketplace, and food and beverages for the bakery and café.
- Help to set up the outreach and alumni rooms.
- Manage the setup and cleanup of decorations
- Ticket sales and tracking
- Make pocket treasures - Examples on our Pinterest.
