The weather has definitely been cooperating and it feels like Spring has sprung.   Bentleyville is thought of in the Fall for set up and of course, the winter while all enjoy.  However, now is a much more comfortable time to do maintenance and volunteers are need to do display repair, can you help?

 

A bit of history:  Bentleyville started in Esko with the Bentley family and proceeded to grow in interest and numbers steadily every year.  In December of 2012 Bentleyville announced it had an agreement with the City of Duluth to continue America’s largest FREE lighting display at Bayfront Park through this coming December. Of course that involves the time, talents and support of countless volunteers for set-up, to run the different activities every night within the display and tear down.   Tear down has been completed, but repair needs to be done so it's ready to be rolled out later this year.

You'll be replacing burnt out bulbs in the various displays, ensuring that they will shine brightly for the upcoming season.  Volunteers need to be 18 or older.  They are looking for help immediately and no experience is necessary. Groups of five or more should contact Tim at 218-740-3535 or email coordinator@bentleyvilleusa.org to schedule a day to volunteer.  Volunteers are needed weekly, Monday-Thursday from 9 am – 3 pm.

The display repair won't be done at Bayfront Park, but will take place at Advantage Emblem & Screen Printing, 4313 Haines Road in Duluth. Thye look forward to working you!

Thank you in advance for helping to keep Bentleyville shining brightly ensuring  another extremely successful Bentleyville season in 2015.
