When you volunteer as an individual (must be 16 or older) for a shift of 4 or more hours, you will receive free admission to the Horse Expo on the day you work.

Earn Money for your Club!

If a group (can be a horse-related group but doesn’t need to be) comprised of 10 people (must be 16 or older) agrees to work a minimum of 40 hours during Expo, that group will earn $10 per 4 hour shift for their group. Groups that work the entry gates for wristbands will earn $15 per hour. Hours must be verified as worked by Expo Staff prior to payment. Check will be mailed after hours are verified.

Here’s How:

Call Missie Schwartz, MN Horse Expo Volunteer Coordinator, at 952-451-9581 or e-mail her at bmschwartz@msn.com for available jobs and shifts.

Volunteers should enter through the North Gate after getting their hand stamped for free admission at the Will Call Booth located just outside the North Gate. Volunteers' names must be on the Will Call volunteer list to qualify for free admission. If your name is not on the list, you will not be allowed the free admission. Paid entry through another Expo gate will not be reimbursed. All volunteers must go to the Expo Office (Northwest end of Coliseum) to get their instructions, volunteer T-shirt and to sign in. Children ages 6 and older may accompany adult volunteers whose job is handing out programs but must pay admission.
