NUCLEAR PRIDE FEST — Sunday – Oct. 21st

HOW THIS WORKS:

For people running the stations– there are several volunteer roles that you should sign up to participate in (see below).  We can swap roles periodically throughout the day so we get to try each station.

For participants and attendees:

Everyone will receive a lanyard.  On this lanyard will be a checklist of all the different activities you can complete for points.

The Schedule:

The schedule has two parts– one for unstructured time that you can use to complete the activities, and the other for the group activities.  Each hour is divided in half, and many of the activities repeat every hour.
