Rally in the Valley

May 16, 17 and 18

We are using six different sites for the tournament:

• Johnny Cake Ridge Park East (the pinwheel)

• Eastview High School, fields 2 & 3 (Varsity and JV fields)

• Johnny Cake Ridge Park West, fields 9, 11 & 12 (down by the aquatic center)

• Apple Valley High School (Varsity and JV Fields)

• Lac Lavon Park in Burnsville

• Quarry Point Park

Concessions are available at all locations.

You are welcome to send someone 14 years or older to complete your DIBS spot for you, they just need to know who they are representing when they check in. We do ask if you are signing up for a closing shift to please send an adult to fulfill this shift to help with cleanup. If you select the shift as runner this must be completed by an adult.

We will have sign in boards at JCRPE (Pinwheel), Quaary Point Park, Lac Lavon and JCRPW (which will be for workers at 9, 11,12 and EVHS 2&3). When you arrive at your site, please find a sign in at each concession stand.

4 different positions are available throughout the weekend: 

Concessions:

• Take/fulfill orders - collect payments  

• Understand and adhere to the following items, which will be on a sheet at each location: 

  • • Do NOT open any new boxes just for a specific type of candy, chip, etc. – especially near the end of the tournament as anything unopened can be returned. 

    • Wear gloves when handling the buns for the hot dogs/brats/burgers, as well as the cheese. 

    • Keep ALL menu items on display. 

    • If we are about to run out of something and need more, send the runner for the item. Put the receipt and change back in the cashbox. 

    • If we run out of an item and are not getting more, please cross off/cover with tape on all posted menus. 

    • Refill the fridge/cooler with Pop/Gatorade if we get low and remember the rule above about opening new boxes.

    • (Pinwheel only) Keep one box of hot dogs/burgers in the fridge as it’s faster to cook once it’s defrosted a little
