    The event is also looking for volunteers to help with translating for farmers from other countries. Languages wanted are Korean, Mandarin, and English. It's very casual and should be a lot of fun for people to work with the farmers from around the world. If you are interested in helping out, please contact Elyse Petersen at elysepetersen@gmail.com

    Thanks
