WaterFire Sharon looking for volunteers
SHARON, Pa. (WKBN) – There's a need for volunteers to help with a premier event in Sharon.
WaterFire Sharon returns to the water July 26. There will be two shows this year.
More than 50 braziers are anchored in the Shenango River during an event, and they're set on fire after dark.
There's an emphasis this year to find more volunteers who can be on the water as captains. There are also numerous opportunities on land during the event. It takes more than 200 volunteers per year to make WaterFire Sharon run smoothly.
'The reason the volunteers are so important is because they allow the visitors to have the best experience. Everything functions right. They are kind of that backbone that keeps everything together and running,' said Adrianna Padilla, land operations manager.
If you want to help with the brazier installation, show up June 21 at 9 a.m. You can find more WaterFire volunteer opportunities on its website.
The second WaterFire event is September 20.
