PENTICTON - The B.C. Interior RV show is looking for a few good volunteers.

Show hosts are looking for Penticton and area volunteers to help sell and attach wristbands at two entrances in addition to directing attendees between the convention centre and the events centre during the event’s three day run.

The fifth annual show takes place at the South Okanagan Events Centre Friday, April 22 to Sunday, April 24 and features 80,000 square feet of indoor RV displays, products, and services.

The weekend event also includes workshops and educational sessions at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre.

Show hours run from noon to 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Volunteer shifts are four hours long.Those helping out also receive a $5 concession coupon each shift, as well as a weekend wristband so they can attend as guests.

Area residents interested in volunteering for the non-profit BC Interior RV Society hosted event are welcome to pick up a volunteer form in person at Midtwon RV in Penticton, located at 310 Industrial Avenue West, no later than April 15, or register online at: www.bcinteriorrvshow.ca.

B.C. Interior RV directors also encourage the public to bring a non-persihable food item for the Salvation Army Food Bank in exchange for a $5 wristband. The show has brought in over 10,000 pounds of food to the food bank in the last four years, in addition to donating $15,500 over the same period to local partnering organizations.
