FAQs
How can I volunteer at the Devon Horse Show & Country Fair?
The Country Fair is made up of over 28 committees that work together to help raise money for Bryn Mawr Hospital. There are over 2,000 volunteers that work on the different committees, selling souvenirs, programs, candy, hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, sodas and much more. Volunteers receive a badge and are asked to work two shifts during the eleven day show. The badge entitles the volunteer to free admission for the duration of the show. Each year there is a volunteer sign-up party. This event is held in the Hospitality Suite on the Showgrounds and is traditionally held the 3rd Sunday in April 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm.
New in 2010 you may sign up on line!
