The Golden Tails Gathering is all about bringing people together to celebrate one of the world’s most beloved dog breeds — the Golden Retriever. Events like this are only possible thanks to the incredible support of volunteers who help make the day run smoothly and create a welcoming experience for everyone who attends.
Whether you’re a Golden Retriever owner, a dog lover, a community supporter, or someone who simply enjoys being part of a fun event, we would love to have you join our volunteer team. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet fellow dog enthusiasts, support a great community event, and spend a day surrounded by wagging tails and happy faces.
Volunteers play an essential role in helping the event run smoothly, assisting with everything from welcoming guests to supporting activities and helping ensure both people and dogs have a safe and enjoyable experience.

Be the friendly face that greets attendees as they arrive. Volunteers in this role help check in guests, answer questions, distribute event information or swag bags, and point visitors toward key areas of the event.
Assist with fun contests and activities such as the costume/beauty contests, helping organize participants, keeping activities running smoothly, and cheering on our four-legged competitors.
Support the event photographers at the official Big Sit photos, or at the photo booth by helping line up participants, keeping dogs calm and happy while they wait, and ensuring everyone gets their turn in front of the camera.
Help vendors get settled in, direct visitors through the Vendor Village, and assist with small needs throughout the day to ensure the marketplace runs smoothly.
Circulate through the event grounds to answer questions, help visitors find activity areas and provide general assistance to attendees.
These volunteers help before and after the event with tasks like setting up signage, placing tables and tents, organizing event materials, and helping tidy up once the celebration wraps up.
