Baptist Church. Space is limited so arrive with your $5.00 donation early.

Troll clean-up

In order to maintain a friendly relationship with the neighbors
surrounding the Troll, we like to clean up the area a few times a
year. Our annual pre-Troll-O-Ween clean-up will be at 12:00 noon on
Saturday the 17th. Show up wearing old clothes and bring your own gloves.

Volunteer

Our festivals don't work nearly as well without a strong volunteer
support base. It's a great way to pitch in, meet new people, see what
the Arts Council is like from the inside, and obtain FRONT ROW SEATS to many performances. Our needs are in the following areas:
 Flagging and fire safety - Take control of the flaming beast.
help keep the parade on route and people out of harms way by holding back the front lines in your FRONT ROW SEAT. free classes are
offered, details on reverse.
  Troll-O-GoGo - If you have any ideas or would like to help with
set up call the power house and leave a message with your phone number.
  Performing - If you would like to participate in the festivities
and have a performance you would like to include at the Troll,
Sunday Market parking lot or down canal row please contact
Maque Da Vis with your frightful ideas @ (206) 297-3255
