Update from Your RV Workers On Wheels Newsletter
Editor
Summer festival season is here. State and county fairs will start soon. Plus, there are farmers markets, flea markets, rodeos, car and motorcycle races, and other events too numerous to mention. All of these are excellent
places for RVers to make money.
Some events hire short-term workers. For events such as these, short-term can be a few hours to a few weeks. Look on the event
website for information. If you don't find anything, reach out to the show organizer or the contact person listed. Hiring may be done by the event management or by a temp staffing firm.
Even if the event is not hiring, it may have volunteer slots open. It can save you the cost of admission, which at some of these events is significant. You may also have special access to behind the scenes meet-ups with the performers and participants. Volunteering often means you get to park on the event grounds. And, not just any spot, but a prime spot, oftentimes with full or partial hook-ups. Additionally, you may get discounts; free t-shirts and other souvenirs; and
meals and snacks.
If you are working events this summer drop us an email and let us know what you are doing. We like to hear from
you.
Wherever you are in your work and travels, we wish you joy and prosperity,
Coleen

Working RVer Tip
Contracts aren't for everyone. Rather than requiring a written contract that spells out your
specific job duties, go into the job with an attitude of flexibility. If you are willing to do what needs to be done, a reputable employer will treat you right. And, a less than scrupulous employer probably isn't going to honor a written contract, anyway

Working RVer Tip
The answer you receive will depend on who you ask. If you ask a volunteer worker about job openings, he will probably tell you about volunteer positions. If you ask a paid employee the same question, he will probably tell you about paying jobs.
