Show
Volunteers
Each year the NERHA puts on 6-8 shows, this would not be possible without the dedicated services of our volunteers. Our volunteers are a critical part of running the shows and without them the gate would not open, your score would not be announced, the ring would not be dragged, our show office staff and judges would go hungry and there would be mass chaos in the barn when people started picking out their own stalls!
Lucky for us there are those that keep things running smoothly but they cannot do it alone. Volunteers are always needed for the little things like taking ribbons out of boxes to more significant things like dragging our ring.
We know you are out there wiling to help; we know that if we walk up to you and ask, you'll say "sure"; we know that you don't do it for the glory (really there is none); we know....the problem is we don't have time to ask each and everyone of you.
Please contact Kristin McKeon our Volunteers Director to become a volunteer. Thank you!
♦ NERHA Volunteer Opportunities
- Show Booth Aide - help to unbox ribbons and trophies; setup and breakdown the office; aide to the Show Secretary and Announcer.
- Judges Aide - you are the go to person for the judge (coffee, food etc.)
- Scribes - the scribe volunteers by classes and must be available for the whole class; the judge will dictate the score verbally to you and you must "scribe" that onto the score sheet and relay that information to the announcer.
- Gate Keeper - This person is responsible for opening and closing the gate for each rider. We would prefer to have our volunteers by class but will also work with you for specific time slots.
- Drag Operator - The drag operator must have some knowledge of tractors and equipment. Because this process is critical to our competitors you will be trained prior to dragging for a class.
- Shavings Distributor - At a number of our shows, shavings will need to be distributed to stalls. Volunteers would get the shavings from the trailer and place 2 bags in each stall.
- Youth Parents - The youth of the NERHA are our heart and soul; they help with everything! We would also love to see their parents volunteering when possible.
- Stall & Camper Counter - At each show the NERHA is charged for the number of stalls and camper spaces that are being used. If you can count and walk at the same time this is for you.
- Grounds Assistant - This person needs to be available throughout the show. Someone who can be easily contacted so if anyone has a problem (bathroom door got locked, need the outdoor light turned on, setting up markers etc.) you work with the grounds person at the host venue to get those issue resolved.
