CantonStock is Tomorrow!
Attention Canton Families!
Musiccounts! is hosting our annual Cantonstock music festival this Saturday November 2nd from 12-4 at CHS. Come hear the town musicians, play some games, participate in the silent auction, and support music in Canton.
How can I help:
- CAKES: One of the highlights of Cantonstock (besides the music, raffles/silent auctions, games, concessions, face painting) is the Cake Walk. It's wonderful this game is so popular with Cantonstock attendees, but that just means we need a lot of cakes! No need to sign-up, but please consider baking/buying and bringing a cake with you to Cantonstock. Decorate it however you want! You can see samples on our Cantonstock page.
- VOLUNTEERS: We need volunteers to help us run a smooth and successful event! We have 45-minute volunteer shifts that correspond with the performance schedule shown below, so you can you volunteer for a shift (or several) that don't cause you conflicts. All the shifts are clearly listed in Signup Genius. Click here for Adult Volunteer Sign-Ups. Visit https://www.musiccountsincanton.org/ for more information!
