Yeti for some winter fun? Ring in the new year and celebrate all things winter with ice skating on a frozen lake, hiking/snowshoeing through the woods lit by over 1,200 luminaries, warm up by a roaring bonfire while toasting marshmallows and end the night with our own one-of-a-kind ball drop! Join us in making fun memories for our community as we wrap up the year together. 

Everyone who volunteers during the event will get access into the event and a dinner voucher to use at one of the participating food trucks onsite during the event. This event is great for families, singles, date night couples, etc. Various opportunities are available to help support the event before, during, and after the big day. 

To ensure a high-quality experience, pre-registration is required to volunteer at this event. Space is limited and spots fill quickly. Check out the roster below to explore what opportunities are available to sign up for.

Enjoy the outdoors while assisting park visitors with questions, directions, and providing an extra support measure in case of emergencies. Our patrol units offer a vital service to our county parks by providing trained individual assistance to our park users, helping to keep everyone happy and safe on our park and regional trails. Volunteer while personally enjoying the trails yourself, so easy and fun!
