Cereal Servers
Report to your assigned serving station where you will receive gloves and a hair net
At the serving tent, you’ll see two pallets filled with boxes of cereal. You’ll begin pouring the cereal into the provided bowls and setting them out onto the tables for festival attendees to take
There should also be boxes of individual packets of pop tarts that will need to be set out for festival attendees to take. We recommend making sure someone guards them to limit one per guest.
Note: Festival participants may NOT pour their own cereal
Volunteers will be stationed around the outside of your tent pouring milk and passing out cartons of juice for those that request it
Once the cereal boxes are empty, take out the plastic bags, break down the cereal boxes and place them in the recycle bins positioned at each serving station
Every thirty minutes, you’ll need to wash your hands at the sanitation station located next to the serving station
After returning from washing your hands, you’ll need a new pair of gloves
After you have a new pair of gloves, you can resume your duties
