HELP WANTED for Twin Cities Book Festival

I’m looking for a few more people to work at our children’s event at the Twin Cities Book Festival this Saturday. It’s at MCTC and might be a good fit for any students interested in earning some extra money. The event is from 10:00-3:00 and we can pay $75 for the 5 hours. It has to be by check (auditor’s rules) but they’d be in the mail by next Tuesday. It’s easy stuff, running a trivia wheel game, helping with a craft, applying temporary tattoos, etc.  Anyone interested can contact me directly before noon on Friday.

Thanks!
