Helldorado Days is an outdoor community event celebrating Las Vegas’s tribute to the Wild West. The local event is produced by the Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks Lodge No.1468 and the purpose is to produce a great show for fans and give the proceeds back to the local community through children’s and veterans charities. Due to the success of Las Vegas Helldorado Days last May, the members of Elks Lodge No. 1468 have given back over $75,000 in 2009 and over $4 million to the community since 1935. Volunteer Description: The shifts on Saturday are a little later as the rodeo will begin following the Helldorado Parade. We anticipate the ticket seller positions will be sitting and the ticket taker positions will be standing the majority of the time. Gate duty will likely involve sitting/standing at an emergency exit gate to ensure people are not entering improperly and in case of emergency evacuation. There are six gates that need to be manned at all times. Security will involve walking around the area and radioing the authorities in the event there is any trouble. Ushers will assist with rodeo seating and the livestock/crowd positions will keep the public away from the livestock area. The Beer Tent station will consist of checking ID’s at the entrance to ensure no minors enter. The first 15 minutes of every shift will be a briefing of the duties and responsibilities and an overview of the activities for that day. The total number of volunteers needed is in parenthesis after each responsibility. Please place a checkmark in the box next to the shift for which you would like to volunteer.
