As a NPA volunteer, you receive your Fair admission ticket and a parking pass for the day you volunteer.  Volunteer packets will be mailed about 1 week before the fair.  The exhibit booth has been enhanced with new features, including a video display.  As NPs, you provide such an essential   point of view in your conversation with visitors to our exhibit.  So many interesting questions about health and healthcare come up and your education, training and experience make you an expert in answering them
