Concord’s Market Days Festival Seeks Volunteers

CONCORD, NH — The 47th Market Days Festival in Concord is on the horizon but it cannot be as good as it can be without your assistance.

Intown Concord, the sponsor of the event, is looking for volunteers to assist. In fact, the organizers said this week that volunteers were “badly needed.” Tasks include trash removal, assistance at the touch-a-truck area, welcome booth help, beer tent shifts, and other tasks.
