This was a very easy and fun volunteering opportunity. I showed up, signed in, and helped set the tables and carnival games up. After it started, I manned a couple carnival games and took tickets. It lasted about five hours, but they gave us pizza and other stuff, so it was okay. If you are looking for a one time only volunteer experience, this would be good for you.
