HELENA – Helena Market Days is attempting to cultivate a number of dedicated community members willing to donate their time and efforts to cooperatively contribute toward the city’s prized farmer’s market.

The organization seeks to combat recent low meeting turnouts and aims to recruit volunteers that are passionate toward the continuation and betterment of Helena’s seasonal market, which occurs weekly from the first Saturday of June until the last Saturday in July.

Organizers are encouraging all who are interested to reach out and hope that anyone willing to collaborate on fresh ideas to enhance the market experience will lend a neighborly hand. Helena Market Days is searching heavily for any volunteers to help out, breakfast food trucks or coffee to serve during the market and chef or craft demonstrators.

“If you know of anyone looking for volunteer opportunities, please encourage them to do so,” said Kelly Morgan, who works with Helena Market Days and also sits on the Helena Economic Development Board.

While the actual days for the event are still a couple of months away, Helena Market Days, much like every city event, requires months of advanced planning and background work to deliver the days of community fellowship that have become one of the city’s most valued trademarks.

Primarily designed to raise involvement, Helena Market Days asks that anyone interested feel free to propose potential innovations and initiatives for the upcoming market season.

Those who are interested, or who would like to learn more about Helena Market Days are also encouraged to contact event organizers at Helenamarketday@gmail.com.
