[Flagstaff, AZ – June 26, 2013] The call for volunteers for one of the fastest growing and best-loved bluegrass festivals has gone out.
David Benjamin, Volunteer Coordinator for Pickin’ In The Pines, says they could not have such an amazing festival without the many volunteers that donate a minimum of two four-hour shifts over the weekend.
In exchange for their time, volunteers are given a free pass to the entire festival.

The online application only allows for one volunteer per computer however. Benjamin suggests mailing hard copy applications for additional volunteers if necessary.
The 2013 Pickin’ In The Pines festival will be held September 13-15th in the beautiful pines just south of Flagstaff, AZ. The festival takes place at various venues in Fort Tuthill County Park, located off exit 337 (the same exit that you take for the Flagstaff Pulliam Airport) on Interstate 17 south of Flagstaff. The main stage is in the Pepsi Amphitheater at Fort Tuthill.
