Volunteer Information
- If you have never worked a COS event, please read this document! It will tell you all you need to know about working an event.
- If you are not as familiar with COS as you would like to be, please go to www.cosuniversity.com and watch the four free videos.
- Please wear a COS shirt, or if you don't have one, we will give you a COS button to wear.
- Please be on time for your shift and plan to stay the entire shift. We will cover for each other on breaks.
- We will have a fan and cold water available in the tent.
-
- Traffic around the Fair is one-way going counter-clockwise. The gates are numbered.
- There are many private parking lots outside the fairgrounds. The lot inside the fairgrounds is at Gate 6 and costs $5. Our booth is by the Information Booth at Gate 2. Once you pass under the track from the parking lot, you can ride the Sky Glide to very near our booth (the Sky Glide is represented on the map by red dashes).
- Springfield Mass Transit runs buses all over the city. You can also park at Walmart on North Dirksen Parkway and ride Bus 1 to the Main Gate of the fairgrounds. The bus costs $1.25 but Seniors 65+ ride for $.60 (must show ID and Medicare card.) The trip takes about 30 minutes–see SMTD website for bus schedule.
- The COS booth is very close to a restroom and food stands.
