Multicultural Fair

The Multicultural set up at UMW was a huge success but it did not come without some sacrifice. It was the first time I was outdoors doing work before the sun rose in a long time. Waking up at 4:30am was a challenge but once I was on my feet it was awake and engaged.

As a group, we were tasked with assisting the set up of tables, chairs, and anything else that the student supervisors lead us to do. Setting up tables and chairs for the various student groups uses team work to organize the set up, carry and set up the tables. We were continuously engaged as a team and all of us participated fully.

After setting up the seating in front of a stage, we assisted another team from the class with setting up the main extra large tent, tables, and chairs. Both our group and the other group were being instructed by the owners of the tend who rent it out to various events. Between all of us, we had a very smooth system to the set up and eventual 24 plus tables and 250 chairs. We were all able to align them efficiently and was done in a much shorter amount of time than I initially thought.

Overall, the multicultural fair was a huge success with multiple vendors and activities set up. As a team we all took the lead at various times depending on our strengths. We all then had a perfect systematic team work to accomplish all of the tasks. It was personally humbling to see the final product of the whole fair and that our small sacrifice of waking up early was able to have a direct impact on the outcome of the fair.
