Sign up today to be sure you get your first choice of job(s) and shift(s) at the Pettisville Music Boosters’ Fair Booth during the Fulton County Fair. The funds raised at this booth benefit Pettisville School students. We need your help...at this point we only have 35% of the shifts filled!!
Music students receive extra credit for all workers who sign up in their name. These workers need to be 18 years or older and not be current Pettisville students (i.e. parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends, etc). Pettisville students in 7th grade may work in the booth as long as a parent works with them on the same shift. Students who are in grades 8-12 do not need to be accompanied by a parent.
