Luis, Jenn, Mark, Vickie (my roommate), and I volunteered at the 2018 San Antonio Book Festival on Saturday, April 7th. We had signed up to work in the Young Adult area, but when we arrived, they told us that a university had answered a last-minute call for volunteers and while they’d be happy to have us, we ultimately weren’t needed. Undeterred, we marched back to Volunteer Check-In and asked for a new assignment.
Jenn and Vickie were whisked off to run the information booth, where they gave out directions and free books. Mark, Luis, and I were sentenced assigned to the children’s area, where we explained games and helped with crafts.
Before and after our shift, we explored the Book Festival and found Fiesta medals, food trucks, D&D, and even the Sorting Hat! After a misadventure with missing keys, we celebrated the end of a successful raid with dinner and a movie.
