Volunteer 

Help the Tradition Live On by volunteering at the 2012 Tennessee State Fair!

The best part of volunteering is the feeling you get from knowing you’ve helped
a worthy endeavor come to pass. At the Tennessee State Fair, you’ll know you’ve
played a part in your state’s history – a history that includes 106 years of crops,
community and friendly competition. You’ll know you’ve helped bring fellow
Tennesseans the very latest information and technology so they can use it to enrich
and improve their lives – and catch a ride on a Ferris Wheel, too!
