Event Description: The Made In NH “Try It & Buy It” Expo is the only Expo that showcases the wide variety of quality products and services made right here in the Granite State. Now in its 26th year, the Expo offers exhibitors a great opportunity to meet thousands of buyers.

Parking Information:

Parking is available for guests in the garage ($7 validated rate) and on nearby streets (the side streets are free on weekends, Elm St. is only free on Sunday).

** The Expo has offered to pay for our parking while we’re volunteering, but we encourage you to park on the street since it’s free on Saturdays and carpool whenever possible, because $7 each for 50 plus volunteers can add up very quickly!

Signups: Signups open. Please sign up in the calendar under events. All Active GSAs are eligible to volunteer.

Please sign up for the time slot you are interested in. If there is a particular duty that you would like to request, please email Kelly AND Emily (kelly@nhgsa.com; emily@nhgsa.com) so that we can make a note. Otherwise, at the start of your shift, we will plan for 2 duties for the duration of your shift. This way, volunteers are able to have fun with different types of duties and experience different elements of the expo.

Volunteer duties will be door greeter, back door monitor, Libation Station, parking validator, DTTD Tourism Booth, and floaters.

Friday: 12:00 / 12:30 – 4:00, 3:45 – 7:00
