STATE FAIR BEER STAFF TRAINING
Prior to the Fair starting, we hold 2 training sessions for Beer staff.
The first training is put on by the Fair and is held on the Fairgrounds at the “GARDEN” on the corner of Dan Patch and Underwood. The date of the Training session is Saturday, August 17th at 11 am. This training session is mandatory for ALL NEW EMPLOYEES. All repeat employees need to attend the session every other year. You will need to sign in at the Hildebrand Office Area on the east end of the Plaza Grandstand area prior to attending the Fair “Alcohol Training”. If you haven’t already done so, you will be able to have your ID picture taken as well.
The 2nd training session for Beer Staff will be held at the Hildebrand Office area on Monday night, August 19th, starting promptly at 6:30 pm.
You will be able to pick up your uniform shirt, ID and ticket for the first night prior to the meeting starting.
At the meeting, we will cover some of the finer points of beer pouring and serving, and will also be doing beer & wine sampling (for all those 21 and over).
This is an introduction to other employees, managers and the beer and wine you will be serving. (Food will be available and free to all those attending.)
No photo ID pictures will be done that night.

This will be the last chance to get a photo ID done or hand in any remaining paperwork. ALL W4s and I9s MUST BE HANDED IN COMPLETELY & CORRECTLY FILLED OUT by this meeting date or you will not be able to work.
