For 118 years the National Western Stock Show has been the place to be in Denver each January, but how would you feel about being a part of making the whole thing happen this time around? 

The National Western Stock Show is seeking volunteers to be a part of the event, which opens Saturday, Jan. 6, and continues through Sunday, Jan. 21.

The Stock Show has more than 300 volunteer positions available, with a range of opportunities including greeters, ticket-takers, information, check-in, guest service areas, transportation assistance, assisting in livestock, rodeo, horse shows, and the Coors Western Art Gallery, as well as youth education activities.

The show said there are up to 12 different volunteer service areas to choose from, allowing volunteers to find a fit for their interests and skills. Volunteer information and applications are available at nationalwestern.com.
