davis_squareSeptember is coming and that means it’s time for Fluff! September 24th is the 6th annual “What the Fluff? A Tribute to Union Square Invention”, a festival celebrating the creation of Fluff in Somerville almost 100 years ago.
We are looking for volunteers to help in two hour shifts on the special day – if you haven’t ever been to What the Fluff, it joins artists, musicians, and theatrical performers in a madcap tribute to the creation of this great American foodstuff.
Three VIPs who will give What the Fluff? A 70s feel for 2011:
• Susan Olsen – better known as Cindy Brady from the Brady Brunch – will be displaying a show of her Fluff-inspired artwork
• Allee Willis, songwriter for 70s favorites Earth Wind and Fire (among many other hit bands), will be judging a 7s costume contest
• In homage to the space-heavy days of the 70s, NASA astronaut Rick Linnehan will be present – a Lowell native, Linnehan has brought Fluff to the final frontier – space!
Volunteers are needed for two-hour shifts in a wide variety of tasks – from penny candy booth to kiddie games to the cooking contest, there are jobs to fit every personality. There are opportunities for friends to work together, and for mature children to work with their parents.
The Festival is at Union Square Somerville on September 24th from 3 to 7 PM, with volunteers needed from noon until 8 PM. To sign up or to find out more, please contact Karin (me!!) at volunteer@unionsquaremain.org
