LAKEPORT, Calif. – With sprint boats set to gather for two days of racing next month, organizers for the Lakeport Sprint Boat Grand Prix are looking for vendors and community members interested in volunteering.
The Lakeport Sprint Boat Grand Prix is scheduled to take place in Lakeport at Library Park Saturday, June 3, and Sunday, June 4.
Event Chairman Jack Long has been busy procuring the event location, filing the permits and promoting the race along with building up a great sponsorship base.
“It takes all kinds of people to make this event happen. From the race management team taking tickets and managing the crowds to the watercraft crew securing the perimeter, people are needed to come together and make this event happen,” Long said.
Adults 18 and over can visit the event’s Web site and click on the volunteer tab to sign up. “There is going to be a lot of exciting boat races on Clearlake and we think people are going to want to be a part of it,” he said.
Volunteers are needed to work in two areas:
– Volunteers with a boat or personal watercraft to be part of the race course perimeter line to secure the area. They can work one or two days, and will receive as many complimentary general tickets as they work. There will be a need up to 40 crafts and drivers.
– Individuals who will be part of the race management team (supporting ticket takers, gate monitors and general support of the Sprint Boat Grand Prix management team). Approximately 20 people are needed. They will also receive a general admission ticket for each day they work. Go to www.sprintboatgrandprix.com and click on the volunteer tab for more information.
Vendors are also being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. With the record amount of visitors expected at this event from all over the West Coast, this is a prime opportunity for service organizations or vendors to make money.
The rate for vending is a flat $100 per day. No additional fees are taken out. Vendors keep 100 percent of what they sell.
Vendors can go to www.sprintboatgrandprix.com and click on the vendor tab for more information and to apply.
