Volunteers to support the WNC Flyer bike ride
Jun 6 all-day
Flat Rock Playhouse

Flat Rock Playhouse mainstage with flower bed. Volunteers needed. The Playhouse Gardeners are seeking 8 volunteers to support the WNC Flyer bike ride on the morning of June 6th.

The Playhouse Gardeners are in need of 8 volunteers to support the WNC Flyer bike ride on the morning of June 6th. In return, for this support, the race organizers thank not-for-profit organizations with a donation. For the last 5-6 years the Playhouse Gardeners have received an impactful donation which has been fed directly into continuing the upkeep of our beautiful gardens at Flat Rock Playhouse. Volunteers will be helping to direct riders at intersections to complete their major ride as well as greet and offer riders sustenance at rest stops. This is a great opportunity to dust away COVID-19 cobwebs and enjoy our beautiful landscape without needing to get on a bicycle.
