Volunteer at Uxbridge Fair<\/h2>

Uxbridge Fair offers a variety of volunteering opportunities. Whether you are looking to develop new skills, connect with others, or maybe love animals, there is something for you.<\/p>

Uxbridge Fair is very fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers ready and willing to support our fair. As a not-for-profit organization, we have a small staff and rely heavily upon the commitment of our volunteers. Without volunteers, Uxbridge Fair would not be able to host and provide agricultural exhibits, competitions, education and entertainment for our local community and visitors travelling from greater distances. More volunteers are always welcome.<\/p>
