Our customer service volunteers will work from the Information kiosk. Volunteers provide information about the show and help direct guests. The information kiosk will also host a coat and parcel check as well as wheelchair and wagon rental program. Therefore, some cash handling will be involved.

Volunteers in this area will be helping in the main stage hall with ushering duties as well as maintaining the Superfan and Accessible seating sections. You could also be paired up with the cosplay volunteers to help maximize a shift.

Volunteers will be checking and screening any cosplay costumes and their props. Some guests will have filled out a prop check application, so this will need to be verified and double checked with what actually shows up. Any props not deemed appropriate for the show but will need to be used for the Cosplay Red Carpet event, will need to be checked-in, a shared space with our parcel check.

Confirmed volunteer applicants will receive a confirmation email outlining the new process and protocols for 2025.

Please note, not all areas start at the same time or are required every day of the event, therefore to maximize your availability you may be scheduled in another area.

Other Volunteer Information

If a minimum number of volunteer hours are reached (throughout all Prairieland events), you will be invited to our annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner held in the fall.

A volunteer orientation will be scheduled before the show (Thursday, May 1st, in the evening). Here you will be able to meet fellow volunteers, get a tour of the building, and receive any other information that could not be sent via email.

Volunteer schedules and confirmations will be sent out starting in the middle of April.
